About this document
ALC Adjustment for HF Amplifiers by Bryndal Randall is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The ALC Adjustment Procedure explains that modern HF amplifiers often require less than 100 watts to achieve full output, with many tube amplifiers needing only 65-80 watts and some solid-state designs as little as 25 watts. Properly connecting and adjusting the Automatic Level Control (ALC) can prevent overdriving, which leads to negative effects such as intermodulation distortion and reduced equipment lifespan. The procedure involves using a dummy load and a peak-reading wattmeter to set the ALC correctly
