Heater-cathode type used as af power amplifier and modulator and as rf power amplifier and oscillator. May be used with full input up to 60 MHz. For class C telegraphy operation at 80 MHz,
plate voltage and input should be reduced to 80 % of maximum ratings; at 125 MHz to 55 %. Class C telegraphy maximum plate dissapation, CCS 25 Watts, ICAS 30 Watts.
Requires small 5-contact socket and may be operated in any position. Plate shows no color when tube is operated at maximum CCS or ICAS ratings.
This is a pentode, with g1, g2, and two beam-forming plates connected to the cathode. It is so shown in the RCA TT-5 Tube Manual. It is NOT a tetrode, as shown in almost every ARRL HB ever printed!
