Tom -- MFJ did that because the "expert" who designed it does not 
believe that an 8877 can oscillate in amplifier service.  This expert 
also does not believe that a SB-220/221 can occasionally oscillate, and 
he offers "proof" of such on his Website.  He accomplished this amazing 
feat by testing a 221 on two frequencies in the 100MHz region - other 
than on the anode-resonant frequency, which is where it oscillates of 
course. (approx. 110MHz)
