alc trouble

I think that it is normal for no ALC indication on the 10M band. If the
set power is above what the transmitter is capable of,  there will be no
ALC action to reduce the output power.

On my K2  measured about 10W output on 10M @13.8V. With the KAT2
installed  measured about 8W delivered to 50 Ohm load with the KAT2
bypassed due to circuit losses.

Try setting the output power to 5W or less and you should the ALC
indication of at least 1 bar when you talk into the microphone loud.
