Re: How to Getter a 3CX-3000A7 / 6000 / 10,000 , etc !
That's an excellent idea Bill. I will have to try that the next time I test GS-35B's. Don't know if I will be able to see much with the ceramic but I would bet it would be easy to see with glass

Gettering of those and similar tubes is done by the anode coating. One reason they have to be driven red, which is about 800¡ãC 73 Peter ________________________________ Subject: [ham_amplifiers] Re:

Jim, Did you ever get to speak to anyone at Eimac about where the getters were at in a 3-500Z? That's a question I'd say a few of us would like to find out about as I think there is some erroneous

Hi Jim, I understand that tube life is dependend on their vacuum and on the emission from the cathode such that material of it disappears until worn, and then the tube is probably send in for a new

I have seen this on 807s running at 750v with this glow on Tx. Soft X-rays are more like >10,000v. As I see it, the effect is caused by electrons from the cathode missing the anode, striking the

If this is the case, why not use the tubes as they are being gettered? This has always been the way that I have done it. Yes
