Don, Thank you for your responses and for your efforts on your webpage. However, I should have made it clear that I'm not in a noisy environment and just to make it absolutely clear I've made another recording without antenna connected to the K3. Main and RX antenna physically removed, pre Amp off. Att Off, SSB Bandwidth Normal .... Recording made in LSB mode rather than my normal CW because it demonstrates the point more clearly.
Recording here http://www.g3xrj.com/Recordings/K3_agc_part2.mp3 Finally I must point out that I'm not saying the K3 is a noisy receiver but rather, whatever the AGC does in its present incarnation in the digital stream, has the effect of increasing the 'rf gain' from 12 o'clock to nearly 3 o'clock on overall system noise. 73 John G3XRJ > In an effort to help those who perceive their K3 as noisy, and for > those who are not certain their AGC slope and threshold settings are not > right for their operation, I have added a page to my website. > > Go to www.w3fpr.com and click on the link in the left column referring > to K3 noise and AGC settings. > It is an expansion of the post I offered earlier today dealing with AGC > settings and their relationship to K3 noise. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
