I purchased a an AL-1500 because it only takes 60 watts of drive to reach
legal output (actually a lot less on some bands), I did not want to run the
exciter at 100watts if it was not necessary. Why drive the exciter to 100
watts and heat the shack up even more and kill the transistors.
My thoughts and reasons anyway.

Hello All,
I have a question about Ameritron amps.
Before we start, lets not get into an "MFJ is Crap" thread if possible.
I know that they have their Q&A problems so lets not deal with that OK?
What is the biggest difference between the AL-1500 and AL-1200 amps,
besides the different tubes? If the price is the same or almost the
same, then why would the 1200 be offered?
I have an old Kenwood TL-922 that I will probably have to replace. It is
getting troublesome, and I'm getting tired of working on it. I am
looking at the entire Ameritron line as it seems to be a good
price/value but it is a bit confusing about the differences between to
very similar amps.
How about the AL-572?
At any rate, if you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you
have any hints I'd appreciate it.
thanks and 73
