FEATURES
1. High performance tube: the AL-1500 uses a single rugged
3CX1500A7/8877 tube.
2. High power gain:
the 3CX1500A7/8877 features high
power gain. As little as 65 watts of drive power will pr
vide 1500 watts of output power.
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 overdriving
of the linear and reduces distortion from excessive drive
power.
5. Vernier Plate and Load Adjustments: both tuning controls
have vernier 6:1 reduction drives for smooth tuning.
6. Two Illuminated Panel Meters: the AL-1500 has two il-
luminated panel meters. The Grid Current meter provides
a continuous reading of grid current and indicates

10. Grid Overload Circuit: this amplifier has a circuit that
protects the tube from excessive grid current. If 175 mA of
peak grid current is reached the "OPR" LED will no longer
light and the amplifier will go into a bypass condition. This
overload condition can be reset by momentarily putting the
STBY/OPR switch in the STBY position.
Caution: This amplifier must be disconnected from the power
mains before removing the cover. See the warning on page
