[Elecraft] Re: K3 AGC Adjustment Parameters

Wayne,

I read your reply to this thread with great consideration.

I think your observation that most field testers did not
adjust the AGC parameters is a good one.

However, I think that that K3--and the Elecraft product line
in general--particularly appeals to people who value amateur
experimentation.

Perhaps the solution is to enable the AGC customization
feature, and simply state explicitly in the instructions with
a large caveat and explanation the fact that most people do
not change the setting, and most of those who do, do so to
their detriment.  That statistic speaks for itself.  Those who
are so inclined can proceed at their own risk.

I, for one, would not plan on tweaking the feature.  But for
someone who, after all, is planning on assembling his own K3,
it's nice to know the option is there :)
