The CV2279 is a wideband RF amplifier pentode with a dissipation of 2 Watts. Wideband amplifiers need a high gm figure and the CV2279 Z319 achieves this with a single stage of electron multiplication. It is a secondary emission pentode as is the EE50 and EFP60. Devices employing electron multiplication were considered to be noisier than other devices with similar gm figures. But these devices pre-dated the frame grid construction.

The prototypes for the Z319/CV2276 were the VX5038 and E2133.
