[Elecraft] Just Wonderin'...

[peter gerba]

Hi;

40-50 ma of grid current should get you about 1500 W out. Don't over drive
the tube and it will last for years and years.

Eimac tests the 8877 key down at 30 MHz , 3kw for hours before it's sold.

It's a very good tube.

The latest price I see for an 8877/3CX1500, from Alpha, is $950.00. You
don't
want to smoke one of those puppies!
