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 :-)

Just a bit of help here needed........... To run a Omni A at QRP levels I realize turning down the drive will bring the power down but I'm not so sure
about the use of the ALC control ????

Thanks !!!
