[Elecraft] K3--Too much ALC creates energy on opposite sideband?

[Andy Durbin]

"The more ALC you have, the more the radio is already shutting down down your audio gain and hence the reason it is called Automatic Limiting Control."

Can you please cite any modern rig, preferably with reference to the schematics, for which ALC is applied to the audio signal?    For the rigs I have studied ALC gain is applied somewhere in the Transmit IF, long after the modulation is applied.

Can you please provide any reference that defines ALC as Automatic Limiting Control?
