[Elecraft] Recommended AGC settings for separation of signals in CW pile-ups

[Olli Tuppurainen]

I use AGC THR=8, SLP=002 + AGC DCY SOFT. This sound OK with my modest
pileups ;)

Another issue is if you get someone loud to your zero beat ( or within your
roofing filter passband ) then hardware AGC will go up..
