[Icom] ALC line with 756 PRO II

Thu, 17 Jul 2003 21:17:12 +0200

Hi

I am using my IC-4KL with a IC-736. Adjusted the radio to max. output,
turned the IC-4KL on, and sat the ALC fully counterclockwise, keyed the
station, and adjusted the ALC on the Amp. to 600 watt, no matter the
settings on the radio it wont give more than 600 Watt. It showed out that
the drive is 25 watt, and turning the output knob on the radio from 25 to
100 watt gives nothing. So fully fool proof :-)

73  Per OZ1EQC
