[Elecraft] Regarding the K3 and high QRN levels

[Jan Erik Holm]

Hmmm...that must be AGC, AFAIK my K3 does have AGC and it works!
"Riding the RF" was done back in the 50´ties.

Ahmmmmm, you don´t mean to tell me that "riding the RF" is needed
on a "super duper 2000 century CPU DSP whiz bang" design?
If so we aren´t doing any progress here, by golly we are walking
backwards
