    S Tek chan en ee tS) = SS : add Canty RCA MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., CAMDEN, N. J., U.S. va & FOREWORD On radio communication rests man’s destiny. Like the magic of Merlin, it co trols airfleets, moves armies, guides convoys, dissolves horizons. It is the coordin- ator of fighting legions. It controls the destiny of nations. Power Tubes make radio communication possible. Within their geometric confines evolves the phenomena of electronics on which hinges the complicated functioning of communication equipment. Small wonder then that the need for Power Tubes on the front line of battle is tremendous and that a supreme effort is needed to sup- ply them in the quantities required. That means that Power Tubes for all other Purposes may become even more difficult ro replace. It is, therefore, a patriotic duty and sound business policy to operate tubes wisely, ‘We welcome the opportunity to cooperate in helping RCA Transmitting Tube users to extend tube life to the fullest by setting forth che following suggestions. ‘Operate tubes conservatively. Avoid ove-loading. Follow carefully the instruc- tions and published data outlined in the Instruction Book packed with each tube, Reduce grid, screen and plate dissipation. Use forced ventilation wherever pos- sible. Use adequate fuse and overload-relay protection. Preheat mercury-vapor rectifiers—measure ambient temperatures. Operate tubes having coated cathodes and thoriated-eungsten filaments at ratel cathode or filament voltages. Reduce filament voltage of pure tungsten-filameat types wherever possible. (A 5% de- crease will double tube life when the transmitter can be adjusted for operation closer to maximum permissible distortion). Operate spare tubes occasionally. In presenting the 1942 RCA GUIDE to radio engineers and technicians in the Services and in the war industries, it is oar belief that the up-to-date information contained in this volume will prove most helpful in choosing the right tube for the job and in getting the most from the tubes on the job. Should you desire addition- al information on any of the tubes described herein, or if you have special tube problems, we invite you to write to the Commercial Engineering Section, RCA. Manufacturing Company, Inc., Harrison, N. J. Should you need sales information on RCA tubes or any other RCA product, we invite you to write to the Sales De- partment, RCA Manufacturing Company, Inc., Camden, N. J.

For 10-meter operation with ‘an 80-meter crystal, a practical tube line up is an 807 oF GLB “Tritet” erystal oscillator-quadrupler, an 807 buffer~ amplifier and an 809 doubler. The 809 is neoded only for Umeter operation; it may be omitted for the other hands, With a 10-meter crystal and a 6J5 triode oscillator, an 807 can be used to drive the 810 or 1627 directly, thereby provide Ing a S-stage, 10-meter transmitter of respectable power output. (CLASS B MODULATOR (CCS AP Power Output 590 Wattet ‘The rf amplifier circuit shown om this page may be plate modulated by reducing the d-e plate voltage to 1600 volts and ‘the de plate current to 210 ma. The grid current should be inereased to 80 ma. ‘These are CCS values, ‘An important advantage of the RCA-S10 or the RCA-1627 is its suitability in application now using tubes of the so- called “S0-watt” class and where it is desired to increase power without completely re-building the transmitter. In seneral, these tubes can be used to replace a "5 0-watter” with only minor eiteuit changes, including re-neutralizing. If the existing plate supply delivers only 1250 volts, but has ample current eapaeity, the higher plate-current rating of these tubes can be used to increase the plate inpat from 220 to $10 watts. If the plate supply is changed so that it will deliver 2950 volts at 275 milliamperes, the power input can be in- cereased from 220 to G20 watts in clase C telegraphy service! At the higher voltages, some additional driving power will bbe needed, bat this can usually be obtained without any radi- cal changes in the exeiter and driver stages. ‘A class H modulator employing two S10's or two 1627's is also shown on this page, A recommended driver stage tor the modulator employs four 2A3's in class AB,, push-pull parallel, operating at a plate voltage of 200 volts and at a fixed grid bias of ~82 volts ‘The plates of these tubes show a dull red color at their maximum ICAS plate-dissipation ratings. They show only OCS plate. sipation ratings. ‘When considering an 810 or @ 1627 for high power, you save not only on initial tube cost, but also on the cost of the final-stage tank condenser, on the high-voltage power supply, and on the number of exciter stages required, RP POWER AMPLIFIER (60S Power Ontbut 375 Wattet +2000 (0) Bre HST RCA-BIO| [ts cu 3 i ig ak BF. i weit @arc Sourrur ta Gi Tt des : t6o¥.

Beeause the screen impedance of the 819 is about 20000 ohms and the series screen resistor required is 60000 ohms, the capacitance ratio of Cs to Cs should be about $ to 1, as indicated in the legend. For operation at 35 Me and lower frequencies, it may be desirable to in- crease the values of Ce and Cy, keeping their ratio the same In class © telegraph service, where the grid excitation or the cathode circuit of the 818 is to be keyed, it is important that the sereen voltage be obtained from a separate, low- voltage source, or from a tap on a bleeder circuit acrose the plate supply. Tt should not be obtained through a series re- sistor as shown in the plate-modulated-telephony eireuit. With the series-resistor method, the d-e gereen voltage will rise to the plate potential when the space current is reduced to zero. This voltage, of course, greatly exceeds the maxiniam screen- voltage rating. When the d-c screen voltage is limited ta approximately 400 volts under key-up conditions, a fixed grid bias of ~45 or ~50 volts is adequate to reduce the plate eur- rent to a safe value; partial fixed bias, therefore, mended in c-w transmitters where the occillator stage is to bbe keyed for break-in operation.
