I find this statement a little bit amazing! I have an AL-1500 and have
preset markings on a 3"x5" Post-It behind each of the main dials. I have
loaded each band heavily enough so that I can get 1500++ watts out with
the grid needle just barely twitching. It literally takes me about 3-4
seconds to change bands and set the knobs. What in the name of all that's
holy are you driving that thing with? It only takes 60 watts + or - to
get 1500 watts out. A little care in tuning and establishing the settings
on a Post-It will keep that sort of thing from EVER happening!!!!
