If everyone could just back off on the PA collector current to prevent
overdrive I guess there would be no need for external ALC control but
then I don't think I'd see rear panel ALC jacks on new rigs if that
were true.
I'll go one better than that... if everyone would realize that anything
over 1000W is mostly wasted no 1.5KW amplifiers would ever suffer being
overdriven :-) Of course, if you're going from 1000 watts to 4000 watts
there would be an obvious S-meter difference but I doubt that rule
applies to very many people.
... although if someone was willing to donate a 4000 watt amplifier to
me I would be willing to test that theory - hi
