Here is another question from the NEW Extra exam: ------------
Which of the following describes how the loading capacitor and tuning capacitor are to be adjusted when tuning a vacuum tube RF power amplifier that employs a pi-network output circuit? A. The loading capacitor is set to maximum capacitance and the tuning capacitor is adjusted for minimum allowable plate current B. The tuning capacitor is set to maximum capacitance and the loading capacitor is adjusted for minimum plate permissible current C. The loading capacitor is adjusted to minimum plate current while alternately adjusting the tuning capacitor for maximum allowable plate current D. The tuning capacitor is adjusted for minimum plate current, while the loading capacitor is adjusted for maximum permissible plate current ------------- I wonder how may RICEBOX APPLIANCE OPERATORS can answer this one!
