[Elecraft] Regarding the K3, PW-1 and ALC

[Mike Penkas]

Very interesting.  That document sure wasn't  known to me when I bought my
PW-1 last year '07 and it has a '06 publication date.  So much for Icom 
keeping their customers up to date.  My manual says no such thing.  
Anyways I now remember correspondence I had with Elecraft regarding using
the KRC-2 with the PW-1 and it not being compatible so I just forgot about 
it and ran the low power K2 with the PW-1 with no problems and manual band change.
I think I will just forget the whole idea and wait and buy a new Solid State
amplifier when one comes out that is made to work with the K3 and just use
my tube amp with the K3 for the present time--which by the way works superbly. 
When that amp comes out someone will get a good deal on my PRO3/PW1
setup.

to not use ALC with a non-Icom radio and to control the power manually
on the radio."
