4cx12,000a/8989
cHaRacteRistics
The 4CX12,000A/8989 is intended for use in VHF
radio frequency applications. It features an inter-
nal mechanical structure which results in high RF
operating efficiency. Low RF losses in this struc-
ture permit operation at full ratings up to 220 MHz.
The 4CX12,000A/8989 has a gain of 18 dB in FM
broadcast service, and is also recommended for
RF linear amplifier service, and for VHF-TV linear
amplifier service. The anode is rated for 12 kilo-
watts of dissipation with forced air-cooling and
incorporates a new highly efficient cooler design,
which significantly reduces air pressure and flow
