[Elecraft] K1 AGC time constant

I changed C31 on the RF board to 1uf  but it still seems very slow.  When I
remove an S9 siginal  (50uv) it takes about 15 seconds for the S meter to
decay to one bar.  I used a non polorized electrolitic cap as that is what
they had at RS.  It is physically larger than the original cap but there is
plenty of room.  I am not sure what a non polorized electrolitic capacitor
is but there are no polarity marks,  which I haven't seen before.  Should I
try a smaller value for C31?         Thanks - Rick - K7MW
