[1000mp] RF power

[ROBERT SCOTT]

Hi Ron
      I have a very good meter and I have just
received an email from the forum about the ALC not
full scale and that is what the problem is, its not
really a problem for me but if I sell the rig maybe it
could be a problem for the buyer thats just the reason
I wanted to correct it.
Thanks again and thanks to everyone for helping me
with this little problem you all have a very happy
christmas and a healthy and happy 2006 BIG THANK YOU.
                  Regards
                   Robin
