[Elecraft] More AGC

[James R. Duffey]

Larry - I do have a good quality DVD player, One of hte reasons I have it is
I like good high quality audio. But I am not sure what that has to do with
Elecraft or the AGC thread.

In my experience, the audio of most receivers , the K-2 included, is
improved by turning off the AGC when receiving moderate to strong CW
signals. The fixed signal to noise ratio that AGC imparts under these
conditions is unpleasant to me. Also, on moderate to strong signals when the
AGC is turned off, I can reduce the RF gainto get rid of  most of the noise
and increase the AF gain to bring up the signal for nearly noise free
reception. This only works well when the audio stages are low noise of
course.

Anyone who has heard an R-2 can attest to the great sound of that a rig wth
a low noise-low distortion Clasas A audio stage with no AGC offers.
