Ok. Silly question. While I understand that the k3 and the kx3 are different
implementation, software wise. When should we expect, at least a beta, of this
new feature on the portable?
Not that you want me to be a beta, just asking for the group.
And sorry if it has been asked before

I guess the question is: Is this already implemented, or its equivalent,
on the KX3? 73, Guy.

Not yet. The K3 AGC firmware improvements have only just now been created
and are out for testing in the field. Wayne has already indicated that the
KX3 will benefit from the work in due time.

*Hi All,
I have been testing the new settings available with the new FW.
The original settings allowed setting the AGC from 2 thru 8. The new
settings allow you to increase the delay of AGC onset from 2 through 20.
The effect you *hear* is that QSB becomes more rapid (expected behaviour)
but
Gary,
All you said is true --- BUT
I am not trying to be argumentative, but the AGC adjustment that has had
the range increased is the Threshold and not the delay I would not
necessarily bring this up, but there *is* a menu setting for AGC DLY,
and I do not wish to see owners confused
*Don,
Correct...forgive me for the *brain fade*...yes the new adjustment IS for
the onset of AGC as you point out. My observations still remain as stated.
Apologies to the grout for my tardiness in explaining what I am
seeing/hearing.
I will repeat that the muddiness I had before is now not
Gary,
No problem - my goal is that no one become confused because of terminology.
What you report is great news. This has been a mystifying thing at
Elecraft for some time because of the difficulties of testing the
results of any changes.
Thank you for your efforts and comments.

Don, Gary and the group,
Wayne's earlier comments about the noise blanker working better turns out to be
an understatement to say the least. Not only has the clarity of signals
improved by being able to tailor the onset of the SW AGC to start at a higher
level and clean up many of the
*Bob,
I concur with all your observations. This is the largest FW improvement
effecting all styles of operation that I can recall in quite some time.
An S3 noise on 40M this morning was easily eliminated and then a local Ham
travelling by was 30db over S9 and I noticed the lack of distortion
Now we need to be patient to see if the auto-notch feature can be
enabled whilst running the new settings.
Agreed but not too patient! The new settings seem to work find on SSB
but the loss of auto-notch is the one big miss.
