True, but with no established standard as to voltage levels for ALC
interconnections between the PA and the exciter, the chances of ALC
working properly are slim when using different brand exciter and PA.
When there is adjustable ALC output from PA, you need the same
knowledge, skills, equipment to get it adjusted correctly as you could
just use to monitor proper operation without ALC.

Not really, receiver signal input power levels are variable and not
controllable by the operator of the receiver. With exciter and PA, the
levels are adjustable and should be much more stable than received
signal levels.
