[TenTec] ALC control

[Clark Savage Turner]

Hi George -

Adjust the ALC control down all the way to the left, then adjust your 
drive control till the ALC light just barely flickers, that will be the 
[stable] lowest power you can run CW (check with QRP wattmeter to see 
what you get, I don't recall).  You can, of course, reduce the drive 
further to lower the power more.  I recall the power would drift a bit 
with time if I could not light the ALC LED, but that was the price of 
lowering the power down so low :-)
