Meter readings for SB-200

[Hulkster]

Which could be the safe meter readings for grid and plate for a Heathkit sb-200, in ma?

Best answer is to read the manual. Don't have one? By all means get one, you'll need it.

after I load and then tune to max I back the load down and do a loud hum for a nice low key and a nice swing. 11 meters of course. looses around 50 watts but also doesn't fully load the amp on key-up...Just my opinion

good luck

Well, the last week i put a new set of tubes in my SB-200, and i obtain 7 times the input power, in 11 meters > 20 w in = 140 w out, 30 w in = 210 w out (carrier). I never use more than 200 watts in AM with this linear. With this i still obtain a few swing (aprox. 300 watts AVG).

I run my 200 with a 150 watt dk. Pep 700 or so. Drive it with 10 to 12 watts dk. Pep of 125 or so.
