First: Thanks for posting your website url (saved in my favorites). I wonder if any of you K3 owners have this phenomenon: My K3 causes a loud pop-pop in the speaker when I turn on the power. It appears that the volume is at full momentarily on turn on. I am using an external 4-ohm speaker (not amplified). It does this with the internal speaker, as well. it does this even with volume control at minimum. Is this normal?
Not a big problem, but it might disturb my wife's sleeping if I turn on the radio late at night. Note that I have the radio with mostly default settings; flat Rx-EQ ------------------------------ Message: 31 Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 20:46:43 -0400 From: Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 AGC THR doesn't go low enough To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed 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 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-QRT*, 432-100w, 1296-QRT*, 3400-winter?
