[AMRadio] Re: Modulator design needed

Never measured the screen current, Dennis, it may well be exceeding the 
dissipating ratings. 

That said, I've never had to replace any of the 807's, they're still 
cranking (in one case after ~10 years of intemittant use), and this is not 
too much different from where Fender used to run 6L6GC screens in some of 
their guitar amps. (the 6L6 family is nearly identical electrically to the 
807/1625). And in the transmitters I've done this to there's no screen or 
plate volts on the 807s during standby.

Wow, that's pretty hot for an 807.   What kind of screen dissapation numbers 
are you seeing with this?
