Does anybody have any input on Conditioning of klystrons?

(OP)
I was wondering if anybody could possibly point me in a direction as to ANY information on conditioning of klystrons or high power tubes. If there is any documentation or literature on the subject that you know about, your help will be GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you

RE: Does anybody have any input on Conditioning of klystrons?

While I am not making a specific brand recomendation, try looking for a company called Keltec a division of Crane Aerospace in Ft Walton Beach FL.
They supply us with some klystron HPAs that have to be exercised monthly. They have supplied us with documentation on how this is to be performed, so they may be of some help to you.
