[OZAPRS] HF APRS with an FT 857D and Kantronics KP3

Thanks Mark. 

I read that the ALC should not have an indication, which is in direct 
opposition to the RTTY setup on P63/64.  Any ALC ruins the linearity of the 
transmission, or so the article claimed.

Does your radio indicate a fair level of ALC?
