[Elecraft] ALC and the K3

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

Thank you for the information, however I just want to reduce the 
possibility of excessive voice peaks via ALC, not to do compression via 
ALC.

We all make errors, and I would like to reduce the possibility of 
hitting the amp too hard on voice peaks in the event I miss adjust the 
K3 output level.

73s and thanks,
Dave
