CV2164 klystron

Size
This valve measures115x42x69mm overall and has an octal base

Heater voltage6.3V
Heater current560mA
Max resonator voltage400V
Max resonator dissipation20W
Reflector voltage range-80 to -165V
Min RF power output15mW
Mechanical tuning range9320 to 9500MHz
Min electronic tuning range20MHz
Nominal reflector voltage change to give 20MHz electronic tuning15V
