[Elecraft] Odd problem on 160m

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

What firmware level are you using?  There have been some AGC 
improvements lately.
Also, try reducing the slope setting (CONFIG: AGC SLP) to the point 
where weaker signals produce slightly weaker audio than a strong signal.

The dipole has more gain than the K9AY loop, so you may need to add 
attenuation when the dipole is selected.
