Vince:

How much power do you drive your amp with, or does it vary by band?

How are you measuring your output power from the ALS600--Are you measuring
it with a TW1?  I know those meters lack accuracy with regard to output
power readings, which is part of the reason behind my question.

And, an I correct in that your HF rig is a Ten-tec?

Tom,

I run mine at 400 to 450 watts.

It has been my understanding  alc is not  necessary according to Ten Tec

Hope this helps

Subject: ALS600 Questions

Hi, everyone.

 

I have been working with Dave (W7OQ), and Ron (K8HSY),  who have been very
patiently answering my various questions on the ALS600, but I thought I'd
bring a few of my questions to the list, for anyone who might be  inclined
to respond.

 

1.  What amount of power does anyone use to drive their ALS600?  And, does
this vary by dand?  I asked Ameritron Tech Support this question today, and
didn't get a clear answer.  I got a sort of "it depends" kind of response.

 

And

 

2.  I am getting the impression that most of us who use the ALS600 do not
use the ALC function.  It seems like the consensus is that with a modern-day
100-watt rig, this should not be necessary.  Am I correct in this
interpretation??

 

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
