"...Bottom line is, the 6GJ5 works just fine in the T/TR-4(any) with the same caveats as the 6JB6, i.e., not ALL brands work well..." ******************************* Hi Garey, Many thanks for that FB note... However, I must say, I still remain skeptical and confused (both!) by the notion of employing a 6GJ5 tube as a direct replacement for the 6JB6 in the T4X transmitter... Specifically, because pin #8 in the rig is directly connected to ground, and in the 6GJ5 the suppressor grid is connected directly to the cathode internally AND both the cathode & suppressor come out at pin #8 in that tube, wouldn't you effectively have the finals in constant "key down" mode with the substitutes plugged in...? As well, you'd have no cathode/"plate" current meter readings, either --- correct? What have I missed here...? I dearly DO want to be a believer, but there must be some Missourian doubting Thomas deep within me! Hi Hi. That, or my proverbial enquiring mind just "NEEDS to know"... ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
