Thanks for the replies, guys. I understand a bit more about ALC protection today than I did yesterday. Still not sure I want to do without it, though. 73 Jerry W4UK At 13:30 8/16/2006, Jerry Flanders wrote: >I am considering using an SDR1000 as driver for my Quadra amp. > >In looking over the

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

I am considering using an SDR1000 as driver for my Quadra amp. In looking over the SDR1000 docs, I can't find a way to hook up my Quadra's ALC control line to the SDR1000. My present setup uses a 756PRO, which provides an ALC input jack so that an external amp can make the 756PRO cut the drive
