[ICOM] Turning up SSB power on 756PRO

[GGLL]

	Another approach is to feed a 1 KHz audio tone at the mic input, adjusting 
mic level and tone oscillator audio output to the point where ALC meter just 
begins to show the smallest indication. Here you read the wattmeter 
indication. Past this point, where ALC begins to work you will obtain a only 
few more watts, but power output will tend to stay at a fixed level, which in 
my opinion, to be acceptable should be no more than 120 watts.

>>I think if CW is abt 100 watts out, the SSB should be the same.
