[Elecraft] AGC Threshold Ok! (was Re: K2: AGC Threshold Too Low?)

If the 50 uV signal generator indicates a signal level of around S9 on 
your K2, that is exactly how it should be.

Your length of wire in the room may not receive signals well, depending 
on the type of materials used to build your house it could be shielding 
signals by quite a few dBs. I would be tempted to run the wire out of a 
window or door and out to a support, it doesn't need to be very high - 
even at 6 feet high it should be picking up signals. During most of the 
day you should be hearing plenty on 20m and 40m, after dark you would 
need to move down in frequency as 20m will close.
