|--------------------

you can get 1000 PEP out of the 6LB6s for a short period. For AM
usable and longevity about 150 W carrier. For SSB and longevity ,
about 500 PEP. If you bias them properly may be as high as 700 PEP
for SSB.

What kind of meter do you use to measure this. Get a real meter. NO way
will these tubes d0 this. Think about it, for even 700 watts out it will
take at least 1100 watts DC into the finales.The power supply can not do
this.
