[Elecraft] Musings on Noise Reduction

[WA6L]

I started this thread and I have been watching the replies with interest. 
Dick's question about AGC settings piqued my interest and I did some
additional research.

First, Lyle Johnson's message here:
http://n2.nabble.com/K3-AGC-Settings-Tutorial-td681120.html#a681120 does
much to explain the AGC settings.

Then, Fred KT5X's message here: 
http://n2.nabble.com/K3-AGC-settings-td395668.html#a395668 provided the
inspiration to put the AGC configuration settings on the PF1 and PF2
buttons.

Armed with this information, I spent an hour or so experimenting with AGC
and Noise Reduction.  I am pleased to say that I found a combination that
has vastly improved my NR experience.  The noise reduction is now working
pretty darn well with a setting of F3-2.  I won't go as far as to say its as
good as the K2's (yet) but it's getting there.

I urge you to do your own experimentation, but here are the settings I
landed on:

AGC THR = 7
AGC SLP = 12
AGC F = 100

Thanks, good luck, and please let me know if you come up with settings that
work for you.

73,

John, WA6L
