One other factor not mentioned is the Q of the VHF circuit, which has
a great effect on gain. If the VHF Q is very high, oscillations are
almost guaranteed. VHF Q is usually not known in most amplifier
circuits, and having a parasitic suppressor circuit is just added
insurance. I wouldn't be without one.
