[TenTec] Tuner and amp

[John Nason / NA9U]

I turn off the autoturner when I use my amp.  I have
the big tuner to make the amp see a low SWR.  If the
amp sees a low swr then so does the O2.  

Speaking of amps, I never found a way to feed the ALC
line back from the amp to the O2.  Is this unecessary
on the O2?  Do I keep missing it in the manual?  

73,
John NA9U
