Thank you for the information, however I just want to reduce the possibility of excessive voice peaks via ALC, not to do compression via ALC.

We all make errors, and I would like to reduce the possibility of hitting the amp too hard on voice peaks in the event I miss adjust the K3 output level.

73s and thanks,

It creates garbage in your transmitted signal when ALC wiggles. If you keep 
drive power set low enough that ALC doesn't activate, it's okay.

Better option is to use the K3's xmit inhibit line if your amp supports it.

Exactly why is that?
