[Kenwood] ALC with Kenwood TS-830S

[Steve H]

Trying out this alternative to using an attenuator
with my 830S and an older linear that only needs 5-10W to excite.

Was told to get pin 6 on the remote connector din and get a 9v battery with
a 225k potentiometer on it and feed the wiper as per the attached
illustration.

Thats seems to be for the 520/820s now that I notice. Turns out all the
hybrids use pin 6 for the alc, but I notice they are putting the gnd into
pin 4 on this diagram.

I had tried this but used the chassis ground and pin 6
thinking that would work, but it does not have any effect. Pin 4 on the 830
is to the NO contact of the control relay, so I dont think this will work.

Has anyone used the ALC on their 830 to limit input to their linear?
