[Elecraft] K3 Need for advice was; (More Thorough Documentation)

[Sam Morgan]

one thing that would also help......
when folks explain their process,
how they got there, and what their setting are.....

they really must include the relavent settings for
AGC DCY, AGC HLD, AGC PLS, AGC SLP, AGC THR, AGC-F and AGC-S

with out these as a reference point
what ever comments are made
are so general as to mean very little
to anyone wishing to try to duplicate those results
