I don't have suppressors. Unlike you, I am not in the business of retailing
anything and have no connection to any parts retailer.
I'm sure Eric could get a replacement suppressor from Ameritron, but what he
really needs is an entire amplifier to see what the change is in the SYSTEM
when the suppressor is installed. If I knew Eric I'd loan him an amplifier,
but I don't.
The oscillation frequency of a 3-500Z is generally NOT near 100-150Mhz,
unless the amp has fairly poor layout and grid / anode wiring. If you remove
all suppression from an AL80A or B and measure the resulting oscillation it
is near 200MHz.
