Published ratings and characteristics promoted where directly established; additional values retained as parameters. Telefunken LD15 decimetric-wave transmitter triode, a higher-voltage variant of LD5 especially suited to anode keying. Datasheet specifies 2500 V keyed operation with pulse duty factor 1:150 at up to 12 km altitude, or 2000 V at up to 16 km. At about 65 cm self-oscillation, keyed plate current about 1.5 A and useful pulse output about 1.5 kW are test conditions, not unrestricted continuous maximum ratings. No general continuous maximum anode voltage established.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
