4 tube elkin?
will a four tube elkin that is set up 10,12,15 meters work on 11 meter? And how do you tune it I have no experience with tube radio equipment but thought id give one a try. This amp has four rca red label tubes brand new ones. How many watts should I see?

Re: 4 tube elkin?
They do much better when driven by a tube type exciter with tunable output. Not a very good match on the input circuit for a transistor radio. Slight adjustments of the input tuning circuit and carefully retapping the output coil can make a difference. How much power depends on too many factors, but, about 240 to 280 on a true RMS meter.
