Tetrode problems
Tetrode kink due to secondary emission
electrons from the anode, attracted by the
screen at Vg2 < Va.
Unstable operation at Vg2 < Va. Usable
operation conditions are limited to Va > Vg2.
Suboptimal efficiency, but still much better
than a triode, especially at high frequency.
A third grid, the
suppressor grid,
was introduced.

Summary:
Preferred grid connections
to get triode characteristics
from a pentode are:
Screen grid to anode
Suppressor grid to cathode (or anode)
Preferred method
to connect g2+g3!
