Hi Tom,

I'll give that a try. The FT1K MKV accepts a 0 to -4V external
ALC input. It should a simple matter to hook up an external 
supply and then examine how an ALC "preset" voltage effects
the leading edge characteristics. 

BTW, I didn't see any evidence of overshoot in the RF envelope
of the FT1K MKV, even at its minimum RF output level. Admittedly 
I don't have a storage scope, but the persistence of the phosphor 
screen on the scope seems to be enough to give a pretty good 
snapshot of the leading edge RF envelope.
