Hey Jack:

From years back when I worked around broadcast stations I always wondered
about the plates of the modulator and finals being so red that I commented to an engineer. He just laughed and said not to worry about cherry red. It is when they get white you should worry.

When running the 430 at about 15 watts, and a plate current of 150 ma on the amp, the plates get redder than I like. Seems like I should be able to increase the input significantly with the T60 before the plates got to the same temp.

Is this correct reasoning?

I think I will just get some xtals for the T60 as I am getting a Ranger soon.
