Question B-003-012-008

How should the microphone gain control be adjusted on a single-sideband phone transmitter?

Correct Answer

For slight movement of the ALC meter on modulation peaks

Explanation

The Automatic Level Control (ALC) prevents the power amplifier from being overdriven. Mic gain should be set so only the loudest voice peaks cause minimal ALC action.
