Few More Questions

Hi Again.
I posted a Few Questions a few weeks ago.
Well now, due to a change in radio I have a few more
I now no longer have the IC-7000, I am now the proud owner of a prestine TS-870 (2003 Model).
Well obviously I have had to make changes to the way the rack was set up. On the 7K when I engaged the EX3200 I could not hear any difference, however, on the TS-870 the difference is huge and fantastic. This no doubt is down to the limited TX bandwidth of the 7K.
Once I set the 870 up, the first thing I did was wire the rack to the ACC socket. It all sounds great but,,,
Does th ALC function as an ALC when audio is coming through the back or can it be ignored.
Also I don't seem to get a great deal of drive unless I overdrive the ALC, any clues? I must add that when the ALC is overdriven I have no distortion in my Audio, its all loud and clear.
I am using a PR20 into a UB802 mixer, into an MDX4600 (Ch1 Downward Expand) then into a GEQ3102 Analogue EQ, then an EX3200 wired for that stunning VOODOO, back into the MDX 4600 to compress and lastly into the ACC socket.
I am not sure if the C131 mod has been done to the 870 or not but, all sounds clear and I have been advised that I am sounding good and wider than previously on the 7k. A friend has a 1000MP and he stated I sound far better at 6kHz than at 3kHz.
I know I am getting there, just a matter of fine tuning now.
Thanks to John (G0TIY) for the advice on the C131 mod.
And thanks to the Voodoo Guru for the use of the great site.
All advice appreciated.
Regards
