[Elecraft] Noisy K3 receiver

[Hector Padron]

That is a real true,K3 has enough sensitivity,I have never turned on my preamp since day one and also I use the minimum RF gain needed to pull the station at a confortable volume.

If you routinely and mechanically turn RF Gain to maximum with PRE on,
thinking that's the way to get maximum sensitivity and work dx (it isn't),
your K3 is going to sound "noisy" with noise rushing up and down with AGC
action.  The easiest solution to this dilemna is simply to turn down the
value of AGC THReshold in the config menu.
