[Elecraft] AGC

[dyarnes]

Hi again,

I got several very nice responses to my question already, and it seems I 
need to do some adjusting.  My AGC threshold was set at 5, which apparently 
is too low.  I've also increased by AGC slope setting as well.  I'll have to 
check all this out with some weaker signals to see just how much difference 
that might have made.  Apparently I need to pay a lot more attention to 
these settings, and may have to adjust them more often depending on 
conditions, etc.  It was also suggested I set these adjustments up in a 
memory position, which makes a great deal of sense.  The K3's AGC seems to 
work very well, and I just need to take advantage of the fact that it can be 
adjusted a lot to accommodate different conditions.

Thanks for the advice folks, and I welcome any other suggestions as well. 
With my modest antennas I have to dig signals out of the noise quite often, 
so I obviously need to take better advantage of what control I do have!!!
