The gain control circuit in the Drake may not have enough range to reduce the
output enough. You are quite right, in that you DO NOT want to overdrive the
amplifier. There are various ways to reduce the output of the transmitter, and
some amplifiers have internal options for high/low drive level.
All of the radios and amps that I have seen use a negative ALC control voltage.
I suppose some newer solid-state gear could be different, but I don't know.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Where the amplifier has a level adjustment
control, compatibility issues should be minimal.
To make the bla
Just asking a question on this subject, I have a Ten Tec Titan 425 and with
35 watts drive I get 1500 watts out, I didn't think you could cut the
output down on the Drake that much with the gain and still have
sufficientaudio output. I would think that with the normal output from
the Drake you

That's true...
if you were to connect the drake transceiver to a drake amplifier life would be
good. Birds would sing, the sun would shine. Life is good.
But there is no standard as to how much, what flavor, or how much voltage or
even if it should be positive or negative going on ALC.
