[Elecraft] K3 AGC off mutes audio?

[Dimitry Borzenko]

Hi Conrad.
Here is the some situation.
I think in the K3 S-meter not in the AGC loop, have diff channel and 
detector  same as in the FT2000.

>Hello I have a K3S with the latest firmware. I use it on EME in fact last night was the first time. It works well but for EME I prefer to operate with the AGC off. If I do a long press on the AGC button then AGC switches off but so does the audio. I still see the S meter moving slightly which is strange when the AGC is off. On all my other radios when I switch AGC off then the S meter does not function. I assume that there is a another setting that causes this ..... or it is a bug. For now I have set the AGC threshold quite high which I may end up doing on a permanent basis, then locals don't distort 😊
