Mark, what is the purpose of the "ALC"?

((((73)))) Milverton.

How good and pleasant it would be, before God and Man, to see the unification of all Mankind.

More interesting for SSB ops, and even more so for us digital people. :)

Are you asking me? The ALC is a control signal in your radio that reduces the gain in your TX chain and forms part of a negative feedback loop to prevent your transmitter from bring overdriven. You want to keep an eye on it when using SSB, because if the audio drive becomes too high, it can cause excessive ALC action that can result in splatter. For digital modes like PSK where linearity is very important, you don't want any ALC action at all, because it varies the gain in your TX chain which introduces non-linearity.

How can you put too much importance to it? I don't see it taking over
the screen or anything like that.
