[Elecraft] K3 - PSK31 - AGC/No AGC

[Bill Frantz]

When I was using a SignaLink, I used the RF gain control to keep 
strong signals from overloading the input to the computer. I 
would also use the Shift and Width controls to isolate a signal, 
and got a 250 Hz filter to help. Dropping the RF gain control 
until the band noise almost disappeared from the waterfall also 
seemed to improve decoding.

I now use a Tascam US-122 mkII interface. I don't have to adjust 
the RF gain control at all. YMMV.
