[1000mp] What is Wrong with SWR Meter?

Tue, 4 Jun 2002 17:39:22 -0500

Now you are talking about ALC. Earlier you were talking about SWR. ALC and
SWR are two different animals.Which is it? Is this key down cw, ssb, am, fm
or what? The alc reading has nothing to do with key down cw power with no
alc line from an amp hooked up.
    In key down cw I think the alc meter should read high with a good
antenna.
         Read the manual and decide if you are talking about swr or alc.
