| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
 |
The F-6804 is a three electrode tube designed for use as a radio frequency amplifier, oscillator, or Class B modulator. The anode is forced air cooled and is capable of dissipating 25 kilowatts during Continuous Commercial Service. The cathode is a thoriated tungsten filament of free hung design and filament excitation of 3-phase wye is required. Maximum ratings supply up to 22 megacycles. |
