 From a RTTY newcomer: I'm using MMTTY, a soundcard, and an FT-757. If I 
keep the audio drive to the "phone patch in" connector on the rear of 
the rig to a level just below where the ALC indicator begins to move, I 
get around 25 watts out. I don't know precisely, but the MFJ tuner 
indicates roughly that.

Is that the correct operating procedure: no ALC indication? From what I 
can tell, the tones are clean, and psk31 with MMVARI also works.

Secondly, is 25 watts enough drive for a small amp? Say, the Ameritron 
811 or 811H, or the solid state mobile amp? Would that be the easiest 
way to end up with 100 to 150 watts output.
