We consider specific features of the development of a continuous-wave 258 GHz gyrotron operated at the second gyrofrequency harmonic, which are related to ensuring of high stability of its output parameters. The requirements to accuracy of manufacture of the cavity and adjustment of the electron beam are evaluated, as well as the necessary parameters of the power sources of the gyrotron complex, which should maintain the required level and stability of the generated power and frequency. The influence of the effect of spurious-mode reflection from the output window of the gyrotron is studied.
