Some time ago I was considering a ALS-1300 for my station. Read good
reviews of the very first ones, and so-forth, inquired as to price and
such from MFJ. Was told (at that time) of a long wait due to making sure
that when the amp left the plant *everything * would be in best order.
Waited two or so months, gave up and bought a AL-82. Maybe build
control and bullet proofing is very strict on this, a new "everman's" SS
HF amp that won't give up the ghost in a nano second when Henry
Dumbthumbs forgets something.
What I found interesting was the amp looks like two of their 600 Po amps
ganged together using a Armstrong combiner to get the power out to the
SO-239. I know what a combiner is from FM antenna work, but had not
heard/seen one used in a HF application.

A good friend ordered an ALS 1300 right after New Years (2015) and the delivery
was listed as first week February.
When that date passed he was advised it would be March, then later upgraded to
April and now they say in May---maybe.
Ameritron blames ?production difficulties?. Does that mean parts, or just
can?t get them to work, or just can?t build them fast enough?
Does anyone know what is going on there at Ameritron? Is this true for all
products from them? Anyone else have some experience with them lately?
