Lyle never said that. Someone was quoting my response and had my name
at the top followed by their assertion, and my comments a few paragraphs
down.
In fact, the K3 has ALC *input* t
I'm curious as to whether or not Lyle's assertion "The K3 does have
ALC output, but you shouldn't use it." will hold strictly true for the
future KPA500. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the tight integration
between K3 and KPA500 presumes the use of ALC since it's "there". If
so, I'll need to upg
This subject comes up occasionally, and I would remind all of you that
Tokyo Hy-Power recommends the proper adjustment and use of ALC to provide
a safety limit on your power output from your radio - not a contast
"throttling" of your radio's output that would cause distortion like some

True!
(Lyle is always right!).
But owners of older K3s who want to avail themselves of the ALC support
(as a precautionary backup only) need to be reminded of the following
(to which Lyle was referring):

In addition to setting the drive power to the level needed by the amp,
the K3* does* have ALC support. It is covered in the manual under the
description for the ACC
Don't overdrive it.

I've purchased a preowned THP amplifier to use until the KPA500 is
available. The Amp calls for ALC.
I've purchased a preowned THP amplifier to use until the KPA500 is
available. The Amp calls for ALC. Not having that, is there any precaution
to be noted?
Want to be sure before hooking it us.
