I run the Alpha 8410 with the Flex 5000A and I am experiencing the same problem. I have to run in DX mode to get the consistant drive for my amp. Monitor with a Byrd 43 peak reading meter and the internal processor hooked up to Hyperterm (in the 8410 shows power out and other diagnostics). I have ron my previous SDR 1000 with my Quadra never had this problem. Saw the post about moving the program chain around hope Flex can come up with a fix. Too nice a amp to give it up. I do not have a problem with my tentec Centurion 422 since it could take 125 watts drive with no problem. High tech radio has to run a low tech amp. Not what I expected.

Unlike my other transceivers that drive the amp to relatively constant power output, the Flex 5000A appears to have these momentary spikes in output power. I have carefully adjusted the peak values in the EQ, Mic, Leveler, and ALC stages to less than 0 dB on peaks. These spikes in output power occur with or without the DX button engaged. Any ideas?
