- Good point. Other advantages are that the AL-1200 uses a parasite suppressor, the AL-1500 does not, plus the 3cx1200A7 does not use a gold plated grid, and the 8877 does -- i. e., it can suffer from

- The 8877 can not be faulted for failure in HF service due to gold-sputtering from the grid because that problem is the failure of the designer to take into account the 8877's extraordinary UHF gain.
