Application Notes

The low control grid-plate capacitance makes possible the use of a plate load circuit tuned to the fundamental in crystal or electron coupled oscillator circuits such as the Tri-Tet. Shielding of the grid input tuning system from the plate tuning apparatus is desirable for stability.
