GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The 4CX20,000B is intended for use as a Class C RF power amplifier in AM broadcast service, for use as a push-pull audio amplifier or modulator, or as a pulse modulator. The anode is rated for 20 kW dissipation and incorporates a highly efficient cooler of new design, which significantly reduces air pressure and flow requirements and produces low acoustical noise. |
