I have a TS-2000 and a USB Signalink.I have found that setting the ALC to 0
works great.An Observation,I set the ALC by adjusting the transmit level on
the signal link. I have noticed as I slowly increase the drive level, the power
output also rises. It seems that the Max power out and just barely touching the
ALC equals 0 happens at the same time.Anymore drive does not increase the power
out. Probably just distorts it.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

<mdblac...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] FT4 & FT8 and ALC I finally got
a reply from Kenwood for the TS-990S -- this quite likely applies to all the
Kenwood's with the red ALC zone.The bottom of the meter is 0dB ALC. I would
maintain once you see the "beings to swing" you back off a bit for no swing.You
won't find the PSK31 words in the multi-lingual manual...it's in the English
manual (and perhaps the other individual languages).It tells you to set the rig
for almost no ALC indication.de Mike W9MDBRegarding the ALC 0dB and +6dB, refer
to the picture below. In the TS-990S instruction manual, it is mentioned as
follows.---------------------------------------------In the case of operation
in the digital mode such as PSK31 usinga PC, you must adjust the audio output
level from PC until the ALCmeter of the transceiver begins to
swing.---------------------------------------------The level "begins to swing"
is not zone max (+6dB) but threshold 0dB.

There is a common belief that became an internalized misentrepretation:
"NO ALC", or even "ALC is bad", this can not be applied to all rigs. On a
Kenwood rig the manual says, you should not go (drive) the rig beyond the
red bar.
For example, the Kenwood TS990 audio input setting to "no ALC" will result
in an Power output that goes down to indeterminable value, compared to the
Po setting on the front panel knob & meter.
So please consult your rigs manual, the designers gave you the right info.
