I have found the ALC light not to be accurate unless the Orion I is set to 
full output. For example, while you have the power set at 100, talk into the 
mic and adjust mic gain until the ALC comes on only on peaks. Now, if you 
reduce the power out while talking (leaving the mic gain alone), you will 
see the ALC light become more active. If you reduce power down to 1 watt, 
the ALC will come on solid on every word you speak.
So, it would seem adjusting the mic gain with full output would be more 
accurate for psk31 (or other data) work.
