Well, I don't know why my TE SYSTEMS amp is different than your Alpha 86. I know that without the tuner being activated in the K3, the SWR is 3:1 and I have to run about 50% more power just to get the same amount of output from the amp. I just thought it would be nice to have things better matched than that. 73, Lance -- Lance Collister, W7GJ (ex: WN3GPL, WA3GPL, WA1JXN, WA1JXN/C6A, ZF2OC/ZF8, E51SIX) P.O.
