Hello Lyle
I have to bow to your superior knowledge in these matters, but over two or
three PSK QSO's (say, 20-25 minutes) I haven't noted any increase in
transmitted power from the 35-40 watts I start with.
What sort of time scale would you expect the ALC loop to require to get
close to the level set on the PWR control?
I will look at it more closely in future.
