A copule of years ago, I went to a training class hosted by GE Mobile Radio
and 1 of the instructors who had just graduated from College and a very
sharp person and a good instructor made the comment that "tubes/valves"
or the glass thing holding small parts of metal in a vacuum were acknowledged
in college. But served no usefull purpose in today's mobile radio's,

But you sure can not beat a tube type audio amp for quality or find a
transistor that will give you "lot -o- watts" in an rf application!!.
