Hello Don. I live off 290 and 1960/HWY 6 area. I orders a NorCal QRP FCC2 DDS kit with the FCC1 Display. I am hoping to set it up to run different rigs, as needed. It sounds like you have a great setup up there in TN! You really have a full size, 1/4-wave Vertical for 160 Meters?!?!?!?! Bow

Good idea, Craig. However, what I'd like to know is when did RCA start making them? 73, Rick/K5IZ To All, Looking at an old 1958 ARRL handbook, the 4-400A is listed in the tube data pages. Can't go back further. This is the oldest in the library, besides I was but a mere lad at that date. 73's

I've not researched the 4-400, but I can say for sure we replaced the 4-125's with 4-400's when we upgraded our broadcast transmitter from .25kw to 1kw around 1961. The transmitter was a Collins, 20J and the upgrade made it a 20V-2. 73 de W4MIL Chuck Chuck, and the rest of the group, I ha

In doing some research - I notice that the 4-400 seems to be a fairly late arrival, at least as far as RCA is concerned. It's in none of my HB-3s, not in my 1962 TT5, but is in the 1975 TT5 manual. Since my transmitting tube library has this 12-year gap, I'm assuming RCA began to produce
