[Elecraft] K3 filter gain

[lyle johnson]

Hello Kjeld!

Increasing the filter gain value does not make the K3 
receiver more sensitive, nor does it compromise dynamic 
range.

The purpose of allowing adjustment of the filter gain 
parameter for each installed roofing filter is to 
*balance* the signal level prior to the AGC detector. 
 Then, if you change roofing filters as you adjust 
selectivity, the audio level or S Meter reading won't 
suddenly change.
