[Elecraft] K1: RF gain and RIT controls

[EricJ]

I soldered a 10K resistor across the RIT pot and magically cut the range in
half. It was easier than dealing with C7 on the rf board. I find RIT=Off a
satisfactory "center detent".

Per your request, I'll spare you my comments on the gain control as the K1
doesn't need one.

Subject: [Elecraft] K1: RF gain and RIT controls

I'm finally going to open the box I've had for 2 years and build a K1 so
I'll have a rig for the Australian outback next month! Before I start, a
couple of
questions:

1. Has anyone come up with a good RF gain control, aka AGC threshold
control? 
Please, no lectures about how the K1 doesn't need it, or how the RF
attenuator works great. 

2. In searching the archives, I found hundreds of posts about the RIT range.

Too many to sort through. Is the mod in the manual the best and simplist for
reducing the RIT range, or was there a definitive posting of a better one? 
While I'm at it, is there a drop-in replacement for the RIT control that has
a center detent?

Thanks!
