Icom 706 and linear problems

[richard.frey@Harris.COM (dfrey) (dfrey)]

     I remember when the new Collins KWM380(?) came out and we discovered 
     it had a 250W un-ALC'd spike on each PTT closure.  Played havoc with 
     the Ten-Tec solid state linear.  
     
     The problem is the ALC loop attack time.  It is too slow.  I would 
     jump on Icom.  This is an amp killer.  It is lucky you tried it on an 
     amp with a true peak reading wattmeter.  You could probably solve it 
     with some modifications to the loop filter, but I can't suggest 
     anything from waaaay over here.
