[TenTec] Argonaut V, PSK31 and ALC

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Normally on PSK very low power is best and running into ALC using causes 
splatter that others see on their waterfall displays and they WILL 
COMPLAIN about you using excess bandwidth. Back off so you don't get any 
ALC light and they will be happier. Or drive it up with someone watching 
the spectrum and see how much you can drive it without increasing the 
bandwidth.
