[Amps] Questions on Alpha 8410

[Jim W7RY]

Does the FT1000D have an ALC overshoot issue at lower power?

If not, then ALC is not needed. ALC connection to the amplifier wont help 
the ALC overshoot issue anyway...

Hi Mike:  Make sure that you throttle back the output on the FT-1000D to 
only 40/50 watts or the amp will trip out.

Greetings Thermionic Sages,

    I'm looking at an Alpha 8410 for a friend that is exhibiting what I
consider a weird problem.

    This amp is 2 weeks old and worked fine until two days ago.
    On SSB, legal limit out in a casual round table, after a little time
transmitting the amp faults and trips out.
    It resets in about 4-5 seconds and then works for awhile before the same
thing happens.

    The exciter is a FT-1000D. Does this amp need ALC?

    Is there an accessible fault table or software application that read out
the faults and might give a clue?

   Thanks in advance.

73  Mike K9MK/5


PS: On a side note, I know Alpha changed hands but are they still in
business?
