I've never used a PW-1, but I do know some people who think the
combination with a 756 or 7800 makes a really nice "1 kw transceiver"
setup.
And Icom does have an agenda in that document- it's to their
advantage to make using the PW-1 with other manufacturers transceivers
inconvenient. If I had a PW-1, I suspect I'd be less likely to move
whole-heartedly to the K3.
But that document seems to refute the statements about the necessity
for ALC with solid-state amps. I know I've used a IC-2KL without ALC,
on the advice of others who've done so. And the Ten-Tec Hercules II
has no provision for ALC at all (although TenTec likes transmit
interlock).
OTOH, when I build my IC-2KL amp interface box, I'll make provision
for ALC circuitry, too, and think about using it.

Boy, I'm OK-- I did buy the amp in 06. I guess I am already
thinking it is 08--I think I will just hit my head
against the wall a few more times and keep my hands
off the keyboard.!!!! WA8EBM
Very interesting. That document sure wasn't known to me when I bought my
PW-1 last year '07 and it has a '06 publication date
