G2A12
What control is typically adjusted for proper ALC setting on a single sideband transceiver?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Transmit audio or microphone gain
ALC on an SSB rig is set mainly by adjusting the transmit audio or microphone gain. Too much mic gain drives the ALC hard and causes distortion.
Tip: Set ALC with mic gain.
