Maybe not as good as the OEM Cetron 572b's but just as good as any RF Parts Chinese tubes. Have been driving these with 100 watts AM & 75 watts on SSB. Output after a year regular use: 370 watts (carrier) on AM & about 800 watts on most bands with 125 VAC with a Clipperton L Amp. At first these put out well over 1000 watts, with 35 watts drive (SSB), but as expected, after around 10 hours they settle down to the expected lower output. Let them getter with the filaments on for a few hours before transmitting. Start them out with only 30 watts drive & enjoy the new tube efficiency. There may be some upper frequency oscillation. But after about 20 hours use they will settle in. Also there may be some physical size difference as the Chinese quality control is as one may guess, poor. I had some 811's that has a half inch difference in height between the 4 tubes in the set. But well worth the $$. 73 Doug De N5DMCRead full review

They brought new life to my SB200, it now puts out the wattage it was originally designed for.
