Voltage - Triode (with diode, heptode or hexode) ·Diode-Diode-Triode

DH77

Double-diode high-mu triode combining receiver detection with low-frequency voltage amplification. Two separate diode elements accommodate detection and control-signal duties while the triode provides useful gain for the recovered audio signal.
