We have observed in all H-alpha flare kernel several intensity peaks during the post impulsive phase of a 3B/X1.6 limb flare with high temporal resolution. With an imaging spectrograph line profiles have been acquired every 2.3 s. We have correlated the temporal evolution in different spectral channels of H-alpha with hard X-ray data from HXRBS and with microwave data from our radiotelescopes. We find different time lags of order of seconds which are explained by a shock front moving towards the chromosphere at either alfvenic speed or thermal conduction front speed. Finally, locally depending spectroscopic features are found within the H-alpha kernel during the enhanced emission.
