Amps running 100% duty cycle modes need a lot of overhead. Re-tuning is
fine for the legal limit minded, but many will use that overhead to run
2.5 KW or however much they can get out of it.
Microprocessor controlled auto-tune amps generally are programmed to
run a max of 1500 watts in any mode, regardless of how much overhead is
present, BUT using ALC has often led to a lag with the leading edge of
the drive hitting the top of that overhead producing a full bore pulse

and I would make it so an increasing reflected power value would cause
the ALC to back off the drive, I think every H. P. amplifier should do
that.
Why?
For what reason? Just re-tune.
