With the 590, JJRadio will show you the carrier level, ALC, Comp and SWR
levels.

Jim, I still haven't figured out how to get the ALC reading. I think there
are some higher numbered menus like around 80 that control that. Am getting
S meter readings but not sure where the RF gain, Pre-amp, ant attenuator
settings should be to get accurate readings. Jim WA6EKS

I checked my TS-590 on 30 meters, and I can actually back the carrier level
off to 15 and still put out 100 watts. I left it at 25 though. I'll have
to check out other bands. On 30 meters the ALC reads "over" with the
carrier level at 35.

Thanks much Tom, maybe I'll back it down to 30 or 35. 73, Jim

Jim:
Others on the list can probably answer this question much better
than I can,
but I think the carrier level has something to do with CW and
digital modes.
I believe the theory is that you don't want the carrier level to
be set too
high, due to the risk of over-driving the rig.
I always used to keep mine at the default setting of 50, but from
what
others on the list have said, it may be better to back it down to
30 or 40.
Why 50 is the default is something I can't answer.

What is the deal about setting carrier level? I have never had
that before
getting my 590. There's of course, the power level so how does
that work in
conjunction with the carrier level. I think mine is set at 50
percent. Jim
