The Svetlana 57B Tube
    The Svetlana 572B is a high-mu power triode intended for use in Class AB, Class B and Class C, RF and audio amplifiers. This new tube features a low-loss white ceramic base and a bonded white ceramic plate cap thermal insulator for high power RF transmitting capability. Temperature-initiated titanium "getter" material is permanently embedded in the surface of the rugged graphite anode for superior gas absorption. This improved "getter" system operates continuously at high temperature, and is over six times more effective than flash getters silvered on tube's glass envelope.
    The 572B may be used as a direct drop-in replacement in linear amplifiers using the 811A. Reliability will be enhanced by the upgraded overload capability of this rugged graphite plate tube.
    High-quality fabrication and vacuum processing at high temperature enables Svetlana to manufacture the new 572B with consistent performance and extended life.

Yaesu FL2100B Amplifier Tubes

    We find that this amplifier exhibits susceptibility to spurious oscillations. Originally, the U.S. 572-B tubes had mu (µ) of 170 or less, and would work fairly well if care was exercised in tune up (see owners manual). Cetron & Taylor Electronics brands work satisfactorily.
    The quality 572B tubes manufactured by Svetlana have greater amplifications factor (µ), and may cause the "conditionally stable" FL2100B to break into oscillation due primarily to insufficient cutoff bias.
    The newer version Yaesu FL2100Z incorporates design changes which alleviate many of the problems found in the "B" version. A few minor modifications can be made to the FL2100B to tame it down, i.e. changing the bias supply from a half-wave to voltage doubler. We recommend this improvement for all FL2100B regardless of tubes used. Modification information and "mod kit" is available from RF Parts.
