Butch,

I'm not using ALC, but I do try to run my 590 at around 60 watts when using 
my AL811H because I've been told that when I run higher power, I splatter. 
I'm probably not getting every ounce of power out of the amplifier that way, 
but I'm also not getting death threats for having a dirty signal.

Steve

 The 590 does have a spike issue, but it really hasn't caused the problems 
everyone thinks it does.  Some amps with very sensative protection circuits 
kick off and so forth.  Other radios out there are much worse, but for some 
reason, everyone has jumped on the 590.  BTW, Kenwood is supposed to be 
coming out with a hardware fix.  I've run my
590 with my metron solid state amp as well as my alpha with no problems
