[Elecraft] K3 RX AGC right after a transmission

[ab2tc]

Hi,

I have this problem also and I have reported it before. It is *very*
annoying when you are trying to get through a pileup. My AGC is in the slow
mode. I am sure it would be no problem if it were set to fast. All we are
asking for is for the AGC be reset to a no-signal condition when resuming
reception after a transmission. I am sure that would solve the problem
completely.
