Tube Finder

Our tube finder will help you find a vacuum tube that fits your transmitter needs. H6 Systems builds transmitters based on these vacuum tubes. The spreadsheet covers multiple manufacturers and multiple tube types. The nested sort feature allows sorting by power, frequency, duty, or any of the headings shown below.

Our field strength calculator helps determine the tube power that you need. Once we find the right tube, we can design a transmitter around it.
