FEATURES
1. Inexpensive tubes: the AL-1200 uses a single rugged
3CX1200A7 tube.
2. Fast warm-up time:
few seconds of warm-up time.
3. SSB/CW switch: the bias voltage is switched to provide
the best linearity on SSB or the lowest dissipation on
CW operation.
4. ALC Indicator: the drive level is detected to provide a
control voltage for the exciter. ALC prevents over-
driving of the linear and reduces distortion from ex-
cessive drive power.
5. Vernier Plate and Load Adjustments: both tuning con-
trols have vernier 6:1 reduction drives for smooth tuning.

the 3CX1200A7 requires only a
6. Two Illuminated Panel Meters: the AL-1200 has two il-
luminated panel meters. . The Grid Current meter pro-
vides a continuous reading of grid current and indicates
proper operation of the amplifier. The other meter reads
Plate Voltage (HV), Plate Current (IP), Peak RF Watts
(PO) and ALC.
7. Operate/Standby Switch: filament and plate voltages are
maintained while allowing the amplifier to be bypassed
for "barefoot" operation.
8.12 Volt Auxiliary Jack: 12 volts at 100 mA is provided
for accessories such as the ATR-15 Antenna tuner.
9. XMT Indicator LED: provides a front panel indication of
proper amplifier keying by the exciter during operation.
Caution: This amplifier must be disconnected from the
power mains before removing the cover. See the warning
on page 10.
