[Elecraft] Beware! (Learn by doing?) :-)))

[JIM DAVIS]

Gentlemen,

A few days ago I was messing around with the K3 (as usual) and having set the AF gain
control at about 11 O'clock with the AGC set for fast I wondered what would the audio
results be if I switched "OFF" the AGC with that particular setting.

BIG MISTAKE! When the AGC is OFF the resulting audio thru the speaker almost blew out
my left-eardrum!!! In other rigs that was never a concern because it would never
happen (PERIOD!)

Why such a HUGE difference in audio between "on/off" states of (AGC) in the K3???
