Art,

I believe you are correct. I would set the ALC pot for 100 watts and not 110. The power indicator is supposed to read watts and not percentage. If you exceed 100 watts, you signal will start to have more IMD.

Thanks a lot Mike, that answers the ALC aspect of the question. Just for 
clarification though, you say to set the ALC SET to where the actual RF output 
as measured by an external wattmeter is about 110% of the pwr setting on the 
front panel. In this case you're looking for 110W on the external meter, 
correct?  Is the number on the front panel (100 in this case) supposed to 
represent power output in watts or percentage of maximum output? Is this 
possibly where the PWR pot comes into play, to adjust power output reading on 
the analog meter?

Take a look on my page.  It was written for the 566 and may help.

Does anyone have the procedure to set the PWR, ALC, REF, etc... pots on the A5 
board?

Thanks in advance, 73
