John VK2ETA has uploaded his latest version of a variation on Ian KD8CEC’s software with a default of “stock standard” which means it should run on units “factory” wired.
It includes the “OPTION_ALC” which use a table and interpolation to set the attenuation for 3 levels (Low, High, Max) for SSB power output.
Not a complex code at all (just search for the “option_alc” keywork). This should give up to 50dB of attenuation. This should be plenty to control the power even for WSPR low power users.
You will probably need to attenuate the signal for “Max” power on 40 and 80m otherwise you will get well past the targeted 16-17W on the lower frequencies.
Note that on 10m, you will not get 10w out. You will need to follow Allison’s work on the power chain to see if a solution can be found to the fall-off in power out on 10m.
John’s software can be found here.
