UNIDEN 980/ALC

[doctor]

HI GUYS;
ON THE UNIDEN 980 IS THE ALC RT203??

THE UNIT RUNS 6 WATTS ON AM OK with me, but SSB about the same. I guess UNCLE HO wouldn't let the VIETNAMESE girls turn it up any higher.
THANKS

Not sure of the dial to turn but you may want to keep aware of temperature of the back of that radio. It has been noted that the final is prone to premature thermal failure wish they would just add a fan from the factory. If your long winded like I can be,  you could add a small 2" 12 VDC fan on a couple 1/4" stand offs just behind where the final is located. Or even stash one stashed inside if you didn't want to see it.

Here is photo I picked up off the internet that shows some of the tuning pots for the 980. Sorry it's a bit fuzzy but you may be able to copy it and zoom in on another program:

THANKS I increased the AM power to 7 or 8 watts, and the ssb to 14 or 15. I have the radio in the vehicle, works great, I was on 39 today and barefoot with it, talked to California and Oregon so cannot complain at all.
