I have no idea what they are, but I would love to see an amp that uses them!

It's a transmitter tube which IIRC was used in radar sets.  There's a few DIY designs floating around which use the 304TL, and I think there's maybe one or two manufacturers which use it in their tube amps.  I'm kinda fuzzy on the latter though, I can't really remember if the amps they had were prototypes for an audio show or if they went into production with them.

Given the frequency band they are designed to operate in, would be suspect that it would be linear in the audio band.
