Power knob became ALC off/on

[Ignacy]

I made some menu changes while calling  FT4TA, and PWR knob became ALC off/on switch. How to get the original PWR function back?

You must have turned off TX ALC (CONFIG:TX ALC menu entry). When you do that, the power knob adjusts open-loop drive in very small increments. It flashes "ALC OFF" as a reminder.

Thanks.
Seems much to learn.
The problem went away after turning the radio off and on.

That's because the CONFIG:TX ALC OFF setting is temporary, not saved on power-down.
