Hi Jerry,

Glad to hear that the fix has now been implemented. 

Cheers for now, 73,

I once blew up an unprotected amplifier's output circuit when a flaky
antenna feed line opened with 1500 watts RTTY applied.  Prior to that, I
didn't think I needed anything more than a hand on the drive level control
to keep my amp safe.

Now I make sure the ALC is there so the amp can cut that drive within
milliseconds if the antenna opens up again.

The K3 ALC fix is available from Elecraft. It works.
