[Milsurplus] VHF Amplifier Spotted

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Yes, 50W output in AM service in the Aeronautical Service.

 

However, the tube is capable of close to 500W output in

ICAS service in SSB operation with appropriate bias

voltages and increased plate voltage.

 

Other technicians in our shop work those, as I stated in

a previous reply.
