3-500Z TUBE-Which Brand Most Reliable

Post by KF4UJA »

:?: Here I am again! I have an Ameritron AL-80B. I need to purchase a spare tube. There are so many different manufacturers! And so many different prices. Help me out here to make a wise choice! And, is there any difference between a 3-500Z and a 3-500ZG?? Thanks,
