Thanks Mike, I set the ALC meter to the L in the ALC label on left side ALC scale on my FTDX101MP, such that it has barely moved, but detectably has.

Thankyou for the pdf guide.

Unless you have an Elecraft rig you really don't want any or very minimal ALC to avoid harmonics.  Zero ALC pretty much guarantees you won't be generating harmonics.
Most rigs can do very close to full power without showing ALC.

Two of us wrote a paper on how to set your audio which works on every rig it's been used on.  Elecraft rigs are the "oddball" that needs 4 bars or so of ALC. You can typically get around 90% of the power setting on the rig without ALC.  So a 100W setting can usually do around 90W with zero ALC.
