[TenTec] re Ten Tec amps and ALC

[Ken Brown]

BTW, the amps made by specialty companies (Command for example) include 
ALC circuits, no doubt so they may be operated with the widest variety 
of rigs possible.

Can anyone quote a manual from an amplifier that states what the ALC 
voltage and polarity is? How many volts and what sign are supposed to 
reduce the exciter gain by how many dB? Or some other specification to 
explain whether the amplifier's ALC output will work with a given 
exciter's ALC input. Do any of the amplifiers have selectable jumpers or 
DIP switches, or potentiometer adjustments to set them up to work with 
various exciters. Do they have a chart where we can look up our exciter 
and set the ALC up to work with it? Or is there a standard that is never 
stated, so that we can  just assume that it will work right?
