[Elecraft] Re: K3 AGC Adjustment Parameters

[Julian G4ILO]

Since the K3 AM roofing filter is 6KHz, I guess it won't be so hi-fi.
It isn't tubes vs transistors, so much as IF coils vs crystal filters.

Brings back memories of when I was a kid, when I used to listen to AM
radio using a home made crystal set with an OA91 diode, tuned by a
permeability tuned core. With selectivity that broad, fed into a
transistor amplifier, the quality was great although I could hear the
9KHz heterodynes from the stations either side.

This topic might be better carried on in the Lounge over at Zerobeat
Forums (see link in sig.)
