[Elecraft] Firmware Changes - AGC Recommendation

[RLVZ at aol.com]

I request that improvement be made to the AGC.  Recent discussions on the 
reflector have confirmed that many of us are experiencing "Noisy K-3 
Receivers".  
I have tried everything that was recommended, such as: changing AGC 
settings and changing RX EQ settings.  Fact is, in A/B tests, my K-3 receiver is 
still noisy compared to some of my other radios.  Granted, I live in Florida 
with tons of QRN.  But at this same QTH other receivers handle this QRN 
better.  Therefore, I am confident that the K-3 AGC firmware can be improved "and 
made as easy to use as possible".  Having to constantly ride the RF Gain 
control does not make the radio easy to use when "running" during a contest.  
(and I've noticed that some K-3 users who don't contantly adjust the RF Gain 
control when "running" often miss hearing weak signal stations)

Thank You for your on-going faithful service at improving the K-3!   
Elecraft is the very best when it comes to "aggressive behavior towards 
improvements" and your work is greatly appreciated!

Best 73,
