Hey Guys,
I have a question about the ALC meter response:
My K2 is Rev. A with all mods to bring it up to Rev B. Incl VFO/ALC mod.
I have the SSB board installed, using MH2 mic, gain set to 2 and compression
set to 2:1.
Something i have noticed is when I switch the S-meter indicator from RF to
ALC mode, during transmit, only the very first (most right) LED from the ALC
meter lights up and blinks as i talk. (the output power is set to 10W in
this case)
Is this normal? I have no complains from my transmit signal.
If i decrease the power to about 1-2W, then i can see 3 or 4 LEDs coming up
and the meter response looks more "normal", but with Maximum power only the
very right one light's up and blinks when i lower my voice.
Just dont know if this is the normal readings i should get?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
