ALC with FLEX-RADIO.
Since this equipment has no an analog ALC input, the maximum power limits for the
transceiver must be programmed in order to avoid the EXPERT’s overdrive protection
system intervention.
These settings have to be done while in OPERATE Mode according to the following.
For every ham band three settings are allowed (storage memories):
One setting for MAX mode.
One setting for MID mode.
One setting for LOW mode.
The following table shows an overall vision of these settings:

The user has to set, for every band of interest, the power limit concerning the input
power needed, to do that, using the keyboard, he must set a report value having the
format “[PC=xxx]” (where xxx is a numerical value having a range from 000 to 100
which represents the transceiver’s power output expressed in percentage).
This value will appear just over the BAND label of the Status Bar.
This value is relative to the tuned band and to the selected power mode
(MAX/MID/LOW).).
In the following picture is shown (as an example) a Power Control in the 20 m band
and in MAX power mode:
Pressing the arrow keys ([◄▲] [▼►]) this value can be decremented/incremented
until it reaches the requested value; at the operation completion a time-out period
(about 3 seconds) must be awaited for the “[PC=xxx]” indication to expire to permit
another adjustment to be made.
