Published ratings and characteristics promoted where directly established; additional values retained as parameters. Telefunken LD2 transmitting triode. Maximum operating anode voltage 300 V, anode dissipation 12 W, grid dissipation 0.6 W and cathode current 90 mA. Amplification factor approximately 25. Manufacturer lists transconductance of 7 to 11.5 mA/V at 200 V and 30 mA. Higher instantaneous currents are permissible only during short keyed pulses. Series connection of two heaters is supported.

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.
