[Elecraft] orion agc vs K3

[Koppendorfer Klaus]

i had the chance to do an A/B comparing
between Orion-I and K3 this evening

the om with the orion is an cw-operator and an musican with fine ears.
he came to me because he is not happy with orion on Europe crowding 80meter band
so I searched for orion settings special agc on web and found some statements

I tried all possible settings for agc on orion.. but could not find
a situation where the raugh noise between cw-signals was fine
so the only way was to switch off agc and reduce rf-gain - then we found
a setting where orion sounds near k3 (by the way K2 sounds very fine under these conds)

!!! these was seen only on 80meter evening with heavy European qrm !!!
