[Elecraft] K3 AGC and Apparent Noise and Signal Distortion

[paulb]

Hello folks

Just to follow up on this thread...listening to quite strong CW sigs
with Slow AGC setting is not too flash. I would guess sigs over 
75 uV or so which is well into the  9+ region.
It is hard to exactly describe but sounds like the Hardware AGC 
loop is pumping. It is fine on SSB or weak CW. Not a big deal,
I would prefer a longer hardware AGC Hang time, but thats
personal preference.
I have an aversion to riding RF gain controls, reminds me of the bad old
days of rubbish receivers without product detectors :-]

cheers 

Paul
