If you mean slow response of the ALC to an audio overdrive condition, the answer is yes. If you mean SSB output sometimes being well below the TUNE level, the answer is yes. If you mean the power being low on the first SSB transmission after power on, the answer is yes. Halleluja! Tnx es Wayne

I'm also very interested if the issue listed below is fixed. In the last contest PEP power output in SSB mode was up and down 25% on my Alpha 87A and the other amp. Send me an Alpha 87A and I'll test it for you :-) Seriously, the SSB peak power is much better managed in the code currently bei
