Perhaps more appropriate for another entire thread, but a discussion on transconductance and the measure of mhos (yes ohms spelled backwards) would be well worth the read for many. It is often disregarded or misunderstood, but in fact is very important in tube performance evaluation. The formula is G (mhos)= plate current/grid voltage.

It breaks down to the ease of electrons to move within a tube and I would call that pretty darned noteworthy. So for this thread about testers I would certainly grab a unit with that capability if I could. Any thoughts?
