[Elecraft] K3 suggestion...another

[Lu Romero]

I would like to second this suggestion.

Having a "medium" setting would be extremely helpful,
especially in the case outlined by Ted.  I found exactly the
same issue as he has illustrated.

While discussion suggestions...

In the CQWW CW on 20m in the evening many of the Russian
stations over the
polar path had tremendous flutter on their signals.  Found
it was often
easier to copy them with the AGC on "slow" instead of
"fast". AGC is
about
the only "rough spot" I've found with my K3.  And I've read
all the
write-ups, tried the various settings, played with the rf
gain, etc. Guess
I've sorta gotten use to it but believe there is still room
for improvement.
The CQWW experience lead me to this thought:

What is the possiblity of having slow/medium/fast AGC
settings for cw and
separate s/m/f settings for ssb?  Currently, for my hearing
at least, if I
adjust Fast for cw it's often too fast for ssb; if I adjust
Slow for ssb
it's too slow for cw. And Fast isn't always the best for cw
nor is Slow
always the best for ssb.
