GS35b Data                 gs35b.jpg (10637 bytes)

Gs35b is a Russian Power triode available on various radio markets all over Europe for an acceptable price. Compared with an 3CX1500 / 8877 this tube is rather cheap and performing quite well. With 3kV on plate >1.5kW can be expected on 50MHz in a   grounded grid amplifier. A good design for a 50MHz PA (By OZ1DPR) can be found on Home-Page http://hjem.get2net.dk/OZ1DPR
