? It may be hard to get an answer, Jon. During the grate parasitics
debate, I asked Tom Rauch at least seven times whether or not the AL-1500
used a VHF parasitic-suppressor, and he stonewalled me. // During the
debate, a (shy) reader ran the 8877 on a computer app. for amplifier
design he used at work. He told me that the 8877 is capable of
oscillating above 100MHz due to the amount of feedback-C and gain.
