AGC slow acting weird. Situation: Listening in the Ukrainian contest in cw this evening. Noise level is about s5. Listening to a running station that is s9+20, cw speed about 35wpm. AGC is on slow and rf-gain in fully clockwise.
After a silence in signal (meter on s5) when te station starts to transmit, the agc is working but without any hold time, so sounds like agc-fast with very fast decay. After the first few dits and dahs ("TU") the agc holds and works like it should on agc-slow. I have heard that before but not as frequent. I think this is a bug. Other settings for your info: mode : cw band: 40m firmware: 4.18 agc pls: nor agc hold: 15 agc dcy: soft agc slp: 013 agc thr: 006 agc-f: 100 agc-s: 020 best regards, Arie PA3A ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
