Note: If you choose to set the output power of the amplifier by varying the output power of
the transceiver, the ALC connection may not be needed.
In this case you must be careful not to overdrive the amplifier to avoid distortion and
Broadening of the channel ( with the ALC, adjustment is automatic for maximum
Linearity and Pout).
All functionalities remain the same, as does protection. You will probably need to reset
your transceiver power to full power out when returning to STANDBY.
Note: ATTENTION: Never stress the amplifier with long periods in key-down transmission,
as this can stress the amplifier components. However, sophisticated Soft Ware avoids
transmitting a continuous signal in the "MAX" condition for long periods by switching
to "MID" power.
Note: In SSB, use of high compression is not encouraged as this can cause a rapid increase
in the temperature of the amplifier.
