2023-01-15 Thread Reed Fite
I tried this with a KX3, serial # 050, & a KX2 using a OCF & 2 element HyGain beam also dummy load & did not experience fault on 15 meters.  Output was 100 watts on each antenna & dummy load. No antenna tuner was used as antennas are resonant. Serial # of KXPA100 is 1296. Reed  W4JZ

Sorry, my error. You CAN use ALC to control drive power, but it should not be used for that purpose. If you set the transceiver to 100W and let ALC reduce it during normal operation, you generate trash in your transmitted signal. Prior to replacing my Icom transceiver with the K3, a neighbor
