Notes
CV4015 is the UK military (Common Valve) designation for the 6065/M8161.
Philips interchange confirms: 6065 = CV4015 = M8161.
Special quality grade with tighter parameter tolerances than commercial equivalents.
Variable-mu (remote cutoff) characteristic for AGC-controlled RF/IF stages.
See 6065 and M8161 datasheets for complete specifications.
