Feel the need for maxi-
mum legal HF output
power? AMERITRON’s
AL-1500 will give it to you.
Using the Herculean
3CX1500A/ 8877 ceramic
tube with its high power
gain, the AL-1500 needs
only 65 watts of drive from your exciter to
deliver the goods-- transceivers and other
exciters just loaf at 1500 watts out.
Cool, efficient operation is provided by a
forced-air system with tube chimney, using
a commercial grade die-cast ball bearing
blower for maximum tube life. The tube is
further protected by time delay starting and
automatic over-current shutoff to remove
drive power if the amplifier is mis-tuned.
Yo u get full legal power output from a
whisper quiet desktop linear. Measures
18
1
/2D x17Wx10H inches, and covers all
bands, 160-15 Meters, including WARC and
MARS (80% of full output set to nearest
amateur band). 10/12 Meters
modifiable.
Yo u get 1500 watts out-
put (1/2 hour continuous
carrier) and 2500 watts
(30 second continuous
carrier and 2500
watts- plus 30
minute PEP two-
tone test). You get
all this power, plus, 65% efficiency, pi-net-
work tuned input, Pi/Pi-L output, inrush cur-
rent protection, multi-voltage transformer,
QSK compatability, and a one-year warranty.
The guts of the AL-1500 is its heavy duty
power supply, with a 32 lb. Hypersil
(R)
transformer using a high silicone steel core,
computer grade capacitors (33 mfd total),
heavy duty bleeders and twenty 3 amp,
1000 volt power rectifiers give you a stiff
3300 volts fully loaded.
The AL-1500 is built on a rugged steel
chassis with a separate RF compartment
fully shielded to keep RF from leaking out,
keeping RFI and TVI to a minimum.
Superb RF design and layout, Hi-Q tank
circuit and commercially rated RF power
components give you 65% plate efficiency
over the entire operating range. Power goes
into the antenna instead of into heat.
50-ohm broadband Pi-Network tuned in-
put with slug-tuned coils is used. Even fussy
solid state transmitters deliver full power!
A carefully designed Pi/Pi-L output net-
work using the optimum Q for each band
with vernier ball drives gives smooth tuning,
wide matching range, full band coverage,
and peak performance at all power levels.
The AL-1500’s grid overload circuit pro-
tects the tube from excessive grid current; if
175 mA of peak gric current is reached, the
“OPR” LED will no longer light and the
amplifier will go into a bypass condition
until reset by the operator.
Transformer provides many options
Since excessive line voltage stresses
components (low line voltage causes a “soft
tube” effect, for example), Ameritron’s
exclusive Multi-Voltage Power
Transformer
TM
lets you optimize for different
line voltages. Select from 4 different primary
voltage ranges, from 205-219 VAC to 252 to
265 VAC. The amplifier comes wired from
the factory for 240 VAC.
The AL-1500 has two illuminated panel
meters. Grid Current meter provides contin-
uous reading of the critical grid current and
indicates proper, safe amplifier operation.
The other meter can be selected to read
Plate Voltage, Plate Current, Peak RF
Watts, or ALC. A SSB/CW selector switch
chooses bias voltage for best linearity on
SSB or lowest dissipation on CW.
The Operate/Standby switch, in Standby,
maintains the tube’s filament and plate volt-
ages while allowing “barefoot” operation.
Includes 12 volt DC auxiliary jack and
an “XMT” LED to provide indication of
proper amplifier keying by the exciter.
Power required: 240 VAC, 15 amps.
Frequency coverage:
1.8,3.5,7,14, 21 MHz
& Warc bands. User-
modifiable for 28 MHz
(FCC license required).

Ham Radio’s toughest
tube -- the Eimac
(R)
3CX1200Z7 is in ham
radio’s toughest amplifier! It
has a 50-Watt control grid
dissipation. It also has the
same super heavy duty
power supply that’s in our
AL-1500 amplifier that
loafs at full power. A
3CX1200Z7 has the
lowest quantity history
of field replacement of any modern
transmitting tube that we use. It has
the ruggedness and power handling of
ceramic tubes combined with the long-
life of thoriated tungsten filaments.
This classic linear gives you
full legal output using a pair of
3-500Z graphite tubes. Examine
the features and component rat-
ings of the AL-82 and compare
it to any competing amplifier
using two 3-500Zs. Most com-
peting
ampli-
fiers using 3-500Zs can’t
give you 1500 Watts because
their lightweight power sup-
plies can’t use these tubes to
their full potential. Our AL-82 amplifier
uses the same Hypersil
(R)
power trans-
former and used in the AL-1500 and AL-
1200 amplifiers -- powerful stuff, just
loafs at full power!
