Well, I agree that the basic receiving performance of the rig may not be significantly affected, or even noticed at all.
But in my case I am not able to set the range of the S-meter properly, which I attribute to the low 8V level. My S-meter can not be adjusted to turn all LEDs off when no signal is present, and I do not get the S-meter quite up to full scale when the RF gain is turned fully CCW. If I am correct, this is due to the low 8V and that would be an incentive to get that voltage fixed. 73 - Kristinn, TF3KX David Woolley (E.L) wrote: > > Are LB3SA wrote: >> >> But if you have a hard time getting the ALC voltage up to 3.8 volt >> according > > This voltage is related to AGC, not ALC. > >> to the manual you can solder a 10K resistor across RP6 pins 3-4 on the > > My impression is that people worry too much about this.
