Prior to Kenwood offering the free ALC circuit redesign to existing radios to eliminate the power overshoot and implementing the redesign in production units, Kenwood first tried to minimize the overshoot in firmware version 1.02. Then Kenwood changed the ALC DC reference value in the alignment to try and reduce the overshoot further. The combination of the firmware and reference changes reduced the average output power when measured on an average meter. 20-30W average was the typical measurement. The radio would still show 100w output on a peak reading meter. After Kenwood redesigned the ALC circuit, the overshoot is gone and 45-50W is typical on a average reading meter.
