Introduction
[This page describes two modifications I made to my AL-1200 amplifier. The mods were obtained from Ameritron, so they are official. It is my understanding that
these mods could be made to many of the Ameritron amplifiers, and even Amateur Radio linear amplifiers made by other companies. One of the modifications (the
relay board) is now (2002) apparently standard on many Ameritron amplifiers. I do not know if the other modification is or will become standard.]
I've used the Ameritron AL-1200 linear amplifier for several years (since the end of 1997). This amp gets high marks due to the reliability of the rugged 3CX1200A7
tube and the beefy power supply. It is an instant-on (10 seconds) amplifier, and operates on all amateur bands (including WARC) from 160 through 10 meters. My amp
will (easily) reach the full legal power limit (in the United States) when driven with slightly less than 100 watts. The amp I use is shown on another web page. I drive it
directly from my ICOM 756PRO, without use of an intermediate isolation control relay. I do not use the ALC line, since the drive of the radio is under the 120 watt
input limit of the amplifier.
Alas, nothing seems to be perfect. I do have a few issues.
