I am seeing an ALC action from my K2 that I don't understand
When I key my amp (Command Tech HF2500) with my K2 (sn 3188 all mods
performed) I see the grid current on the amp cycling between 3 distict steps.
For example:
-When I first key the radio with a continuous carries the amp will show 30
ma of grid current, increasing to 40 ma over the next second or so.
-The grid current will then immediately drop to 20ma and increase to approx
28 ma over the next second or or so
-This repeats one more time.
I also see this when sending a continuous string of dits
The input VSWR to the amp is 1.3:1
I do not see this effect with any other radio
I'd liek to understand why this effect is happening and how it can be
eliminated. Any help is greatly appriciates
