[Elecraft] AGC Settings

[Don Wilhelm]

Donald,

The AGC settings, particularly the slope and the threshold are best set 
to your individual preferences.  There is no setting that is perfect for 
everyone - that is why Elecraft allows the parameters to be varied 
instead of providing one setting for everyone.

For guidance on how to evaluate the results of any changes, take a look 
at my webpage www.w3fpr.com article on "Noisy K3".
The key is that you cannot make a good evaluation by listening only to a 
signal, you must listen for the effects in gaps between the words of a 
signal.

73,
Don W3FPR
