[Test-Equipment] Millen GDO question

[Richard Knoppow]

     Some of you know that I obtained the VHF "coil"
 actually a hair pin through the kindness of a fellow on 
this list. My question is for others with the same meter. 
How much current is normal for hairpin to indicate? Mine is 
quite low and I think it quits oscillating below about 
140mhz. That is the low frequency limit as given in the 
handbook so it might be normal. The hairpin appears to be 
perfect and the tube tests good, actually rather hot, on two 
different testers. So, I suspect this is normal but want to 
confirm that. The current indicated on the meter varies with 
different coils but is significantly higher on the next 
lowest one. Its curious that the output is lower at the low 
end of the band but that's true of all the coils.
