[Elecraft] P3 annoying AGC issue and want list

[Grant Youngman]

This is RIDICULOUS!!  

Do you guys read the manual?  Based on all of the whining posts the last few days, it's apparent that there are a lot K3 and P3 owners who've never bothered to open the freakin' book.  Agc, noise, this that, good grief.  IT isn't just about the K3 -- it's about how to use a RADIO!!

I apologize for being a bit peevish in this post, but REALLY people.

I have tapped my P3's knob a bezillion times and never had AGC disabled.  You need to check the rest of your settings.  Or maybe just RTFM, or figure out how to use the radio -- which most of us have.  And it isn't rocket science.

Everybody has a bitch, and blames it on somebody else!
