? Amplifier to transceiver ALC does not work as advertised. The best
solution is to set the transceiver output to a specific level. To drive
a 3-500Z to max linear ability, use no more than c. 70w pep drive. The
info on the 3-500Z current rating in the AL-80 manual is not according to
the tube manufacturer's specs. The actual rating is 400mA (c. 150mA
indicated with voice mod). More than that generates rotten splatter.
