Also as a radio frequency amplifier in VHF television tuners. This tube features very high transconductance combined with very low inter-electrode capacitance values and is provided with separate grid bias pins for grid #3 and cathode to permit the use of an un-bypassed resistor to minimize the effects of regeneration. Heater type: 6.3 volts at .65 ampere.” See also: https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6de6.html.
