During the recent NAQP RTTY contest, as I changed bands I noticed a lot of variation in the output of my RTTY signal as I changed bands. On 80 and 40m, I needed lot less audio input to get full output (40w) than on 20m, and a lot more on 15 and 10m.

This required a lot of attention. If I changed bands upward, then I might only eke out a couple of watts. If I changed bands downward, I could overdrive the rig into ALC action.

Is this normal and expected? I'm using the K2SB with RTTY mode, so the audio compression is off.
