This is cellphone video taken of an Ameritron RF amplifier and a tuner at the MFJ booth, at the Baltimore Hamboree this past weekend (3/29/08).
I apologize up front. There's some blurring throughout due to quick movements, as I tried to cover everything before my phone ran out of memory.

Heh-heh, I was being sarcastic for the benefit of my brother (who's also a long time ham). ;) I say things like that sometimes at hamfests, just to be facetious. I actually despise the CB mentality myself.

The tube looks like a 5cx1500. Same tube we use at our Collins 831d2 FM still working.

You're right, it's a broadcast tube. The manufacturers literature says it's an Eimac 3CX1500/8877.
