Diode, Triode and Hexode - what do these mean?
 

I'm fairly new to the forum and would like to thank all the members for their help so far.

I have one question, what's the deal with all these diodes and triodes that appear alongside each members name? I assume it's some sort of hierarchy but I'd like to know how it works, what are the rules etc. Not that's it's a competition, it's just interesting and fun!

Thanks.

This is the post counts for the different titles

User Title - Minimum Posts
New Member - 0
Diode - 1
Triode - 10
Tetrode - 50
Pentode - 100
Hexode - 250
Heptode - 500
Octode - 1000
Nonode - 2000
Dekatron - 3000

We probably need another one for 5000+ now...

Klystron and magnetron?

Re: Diode, Triode and Hextode
 

We could get clever and go for a single cavity Magnetron for say 10,000 posts, and then increase this by the number of cavities - think 8 cavities would be the maximum - good for 80,000 posts......

So Klystron at 5,000 and Magnetron at 10,000 for now? I'll be a while before we need to go higher than that.

I think the question has been answered now, so we'll close the thread before the post count gets to EABC80 proportions. ;)
