Re: [Flexradio] ALC for use with QRO external amp?

2006-08-16 Thread Tom Thompson
Jerry, The ALC on an amplifier is a feedback path from the amp to the exciter that holds the amp output to a certain level by reducing the exciter output and thus the drive to the amp. ALC will not protect the amp from a high SWR condition. Most amps these days have over drive protection an

I agree, and for what it's worth, I seldom talk to anyone these days that do run an ALC line to their amp. My Henry will shut down if I ever overdrive it, and I don't think the SDR can even do that except one time when I ran a sine wave on AM with asymmetrical modulation to the dummy load. I stil
