its consequences.
How about this idea. I'm sure the efficiency of the K2 doesn't vary
much more than a 2:1 or 3:1 range. More likely less than 2:1. Instead
of reducing power to zero and working up, why not take a guess at what
the ALC might be? Perhaps on a band change, cut the ALC in half or down
to a third, and then work back up.
This way, the first few dits aren't reduced to zero, but perhaps only
by 3-6 dB.
