Re: [Elecraft] ALC and Solid State Amps...
As a general practice, most do not recommend using ALC from the amp to the transceiver. ALC is not a "compression" mode and should not be used as such. The ALC performance in modern transceivers will usually be superior in performance to the voltage derived in the amp and then processed by the transceiver to control drive power. The amp should have adequate safeguards designed in to prevent overdrive and alert the operator of such occurrence. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S - sn 10163 On 2/7/2018 6:39 PM, Nr4c wrote: Just don’t do it.

[Elecraft] ALC and Solid State Amps...
I have asked on and off about ALC over the past few months, and I think I want to use ALC as a safeguard to amp overdriving as an error, not as a way of obtaining compression. That said-- is the K3 ALC input directly compatible with the ALC from the ALS-1306? i.e. Is anyone using ALC on an ALS-1306, and a K3? If so, did you just plug the two together, or did you need to interface them in some way? -- 73s and thanks, Dave NK7Z http://www.nk7z.net __ 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
