Sometime back around 1970, I built an amplifier for my college radio club.  I spent many, many hours trying to get ALC to work, and failed completely.  Fortunately, the exciter really couldn't overdrive a pair of 3-500Z's, so we ended up running it just as Elecraft recommends, using only the exciter's internal ALC.  I'm sure amplifier designers no know a lot more about it than I did back then, but apparently closing the ALC feedback loop around an external amplifier is still difficult to do.
