Hi. I know that some manufactures frown on using ALC to control the drive going to a linear. However, on my SPE 1.5k it is highly recommended and works very well particularly on SSB. Without it, I am having trouble getting the combination of drive and mic gain so that I get close to rated power but don’t trip the amp’s overdrive protection. It works really great on rigs that use it like my Icom 7300. On the other hand, Flex really doesn’t want you to use it and SPE has come up with a special solution for Flex which works pretty well but is complicated. Anyway, implementing ALC in eesdr3 would really solve this problem. Is it anywhere on the horizon?
The problem with ALC is there is NO Set Standard-
EE talked about it last year in a live video- I would imagine a couple more release and at least 1 or 2 Beta before you get some ALC.
Personally, ALC is worthless- and in fact if not properly done causes more issues than not having it it all
There are a few AMP manufactures that don't have ALC inputs (ACOM) for one
By the time most ALC sends a signal back its already too late you now you start a clipping situation.
It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea but it's really a total crap shoot, which produces more overshoots and peaks then you would have if you properly managed your output manually to begin with.
