Yes indeed. One should not depend on ALC to set output power. Jack Don Wilhelm wrote: Jack, Those displays look quite similar to what I would have expected - overshoot will occur if the audio is increased sufficiently to activate the ALC. The displays do point out the necessity of not drivin

Jack, Those displays look quite similar to what I would have expected - overshoot will occur if the audio is increased sufficiently to activate the ALC. The displays do point out the necessity of not driving the K2 into ALC if overshoot is to be avoided - for digital modes, that means to increase
