[Yaesu] Re: 847 ALC update

[Sean]

Interestingly enough....     It seems the less RF power I dial up, the =
more ALC I can get.

Also checked the voltage At the power connector on the radio,  13.67 =
(Idle).    12.63 during transmit  (100 watts)

"What is the available voltage, DURING TRANSMIT? If not between 13 and =
15=20
volts, WHILE TRANSMITTING, you will have problems seeing ALC. Ideally, =
the=20
voltage, measured AT THE RIG, while drawing 20 amperes, should be =
between=20
13.5 and 14.5 volts.--The radio MAY operate below 12.5 volts, but DO NOT =

expect IDEAL operation with low voltage.----Voltages above 16 volts WILL =

result in very short radio service life
 If nothing is wrong with the radio/antenna, the power source MAY be =
your=20
problem.
  Good luck, 73--KC3VO---Bob Curry"
