Re: 3 x YC-156's vs 8281
600w of drive.. it should do 30-36 k out. I can't imagine dealing with the problems of paralleling 3 YC- 156's. He needs a 15k or 20k! not desirable unless one is trying to build an oscillator. The

Proposed test for lytics.
To prove Rich's observation about caps blowin up when the eq resistor opens.... I'm proposing a test. Using a variac.... dial it up so +400 vdc appears across the string of 8 x caps [50 v per cap]

Re: BNC Connectors
I have a RCA SBA-1K Radio-marine amplifier, (2X 3-400Z's at 2800VDC) which will do 1KW dead carrier all day long. RCA chose to use a dual Dow-Key coax switch with BNC connectors for the input and

Re: submounted tubes vs normal mount vs elevated on a pedestal
Paralleling 3 tubes triples C-feedback, and that is not desirable unless one is trying to build an oscillator. The tube that is best suited for 20k - 35k out is the 8281/4cx15000A. 200w will drive one
