Typical Operation
| Mode | Plate V | Gm (µmhos) | Rp (Ω) | µ | Plate mA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A1 Amplifier | 100 V | 900 | 110000 | 100 | 0.4 mA |

Application Notes
The 6S8GT combines a high-mu triode and three separate diodes in one envelope. One diode has a separate cathode permitting use as a balanced discriminator. Ideal for AM/FM receivers to detect both types of signal without additional switching.
