Hello folks

To reduce the output power on my 32S-3 is no problem, in CW. But how about SSB?
Most modern amplifier don't have an ALC connector for that reason.

One way is to apply external voltage to the ALC connector at the 32S-3. But what
is the voltage and how to do that exactly?

Any ideas?

Hi Daniel
The way to reduce power on any tube transmitter with a Pi Network is to reduce the
load control and dip the plate to a lower plate current.By backing off the load
control you should be able to reduce to power to about 10 watts or anything
in between.
