[Elecraft] Re: K3 AGC Adjustment Parameters

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Can the values of all these parameters be uploaded and downloaded from
the control port?  If so, someone (I wish I could) needs to write a
program to do those functions and display them all with the
differences from defaults marked.

   There are literally hundreds of parameters in a radio like the K3 that 
   could be made adjustable. Some of them are extremely useful because they 
   allow you to customize the rig for your personal preferences (like the 
   AGC slope) and others because they are related to integration with other 
   station equipment or your environment (like the high and low gain 
   settings for the mic and speaker/phones amplifiers).

   If everything that could be adjustable was, you'd have a huge menu, 
   people would find it confusing and hard to use, and they would set 
   things wrong and forget what they changed and how to reset it. It would 
   not be a better radio, it would be a worse radio. One of the decisions 
   out of the thousands that Wayne had to make was to choose a reasonable 
   set of configurable parameters. Everybody might not agree with the set 
   that he chose, but then everybody isn't happy with the size of the K3, 
   or the available options, etc.
