// The AL-1500 is seemingly capable of VHF or UHF parasitic
oscillation. The AL-1500 is - to my knowledge - the only commercially
manufactured 8877 HF amplifier that does not use a parasitic suppressor,
According to a number of Al-1500 owners, its 8877 has a high mortality
rate. Several owners have reported that their AL-1500 had multiple 8877
failures during the first 12-months. See Figures 24 and 24.1 on my Web
site for details.
