Frequency agile Ku band transmission? What kind of tube did they use for
that?

Klystrons and Magnetrons can be mechanically tuned over a limited range.
Making the receivers track the transmitters is a bigger problem.

Wondering why the Ku band could not just take a handoff and do the
tracking on its own, must not have been a stable track.

The jamming equipment I worked against was pretty limited - it seemed to
only jam one band at a time. After all, it was in a fighter/bomber (F4) not
a B-52.

ALQ-71? ALQ-72? ALQ-87? QRC-119? ;-)
