Hi all.

Also the SWR, i.e. RTX RF final stage load, would afflict the Pout/ALC behaviour, that's on MY ICOM and YAESU RTXes (at least all at 90 without any ALC sign and SWR <1.5:1).

Gary try the same setup with a dummy load instead of any aerial, with and without your antenna tuner in line, RF filters or any other lines/aerials accessories that is feasible. Try to separate each thing sequentially, note before and after, seek for changes, try other modes, programs, interfaces ...

What you wrote will make sense in any case of a RF output stage not properly loaded.

Or, you could have a case of severe RFI thus just increasing a bit the BF signal it will make that much feedback that, in turn, overload any RTX ...

But there are other variables to be considered, a lot. I.E. too much for a short email.

PS what I write here apply only partially to K3, that's another tale.

Gary -- I've work on a dozens of rigs...probably including all the ones you 
have.
If you are unable to get at least 90W with no ALC then something in your audio 
path is incorrect.
I'd like to work with you and ensure that either my directions need updating or 
your settings need updating.
Did you follow the procedure in the document I sent?? That has worked on every 
rig/audio combo I've tested which is over 300 operators now.
Can you call me an we can hook up and figure this out?? Gotta' make sure the 
info I'm putting out is as inclusive as possible.

Absolutely. I own six different Icom HF rigs. All of them put out minuscule power unless there is a significant deflection on the ALC meter. The no ALC warning does NOT apply to all rigs. I agree with RTFM. You cannot go wrong.
