[Alan Price]

You know, I tried to juice my K3, but my Jack Lelanne Juicer just broke down.  Come on people, this is not CB!

> I believe the way ALC works in the rig, unless you tell it you want more, it wouldn't do it even if you increased the capability. And it is the software that tells it how much to put out, so unless you change the software so it will go above 120w it won't. Unlike, say a TS850 where you just turn the ALC pot up on the inside. Higher voltage may lower the IMD but at what cost? What does it do to the MTBF of all the components that are rated say at 16v.
