I always felt that the ALC control into an SS amp is the amp's last resort to being over-driven (= damaged?). Yes, for normal operation, set your radio at a lower power to drive the amp to the desired level, which does NOT activate the ALC. However, if you do something "un-smart", the ALC will hopefully protect the amp's input.
Just to make this plain, do NOT run your 100/200 watt radio at max output and depend on the ALC connection to cut it back. 73, Charlie k3ICH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
