[Elecraft] AGC OFF --> S-meter gone?

[James R. Duffey]

In general, there is no reason why the S-meter should not work when the AGC
is turned off. One can disconnect the AGC control point and leave the meter
still connected to measure the AGC voltage. You only need to disconnect the
control line, not the line to the S-meter. This way, the S-meter still works
but the AGC does not.

My HQ-170, circa 1959, works this way. It was a good innovation that never
caught on. Don't know why, it is a simple concept. Maybe the K-2A can
feature this.- Dr. Megacycle KK6MC/5
