Of four pair 6JB6 I own, only one will load on 15M and 10M. Only two will load above 40M. I'm using my T-4XB as the test rig ( the best pair (Sylvanias) are now in my T-4X ). All of the pair were "matched" by the vendors.
I'm beginning to reluctantly think about doing the 6146 conversion. I hate to modify a nice rig, but expense of buying non-performing sweep tubes is becoming an issue for me. Have folks found the 6146 to be less problematic than the 6JB6 sweep tubes? In my younger days, I always found the 6146 to be pretty bullet-proof. All advice appreciated. 73, Curt KB5JO _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
