Greetings to the group, After all the posts lately about the care and feeding of the 6JB6 finals I have what may be a dumb question .....but here she goes. I have a T4XC that I use exclusively on CW. I think I recall some while back that someone said the idle current could be reduced from the standard .07 A level if the transmitter was only being used on CW. Is that true and if so what level would be appropriate ? My T4XC looks to have original Sylvania finals and they seem healthy as I get about 140w out on 20m if I run it full out. I never run it over 100w and have a fan sucking air up from the cage. But if I could perhaps get longer life from the tubes by running less idle current then I might ought to try it. Is this a good idea or maybe not ? thanks for any thoughts Jim N5KY
