Jim, At P49Y, I have found it useful on CW to use an AGC slope setting that reduces agc compression. That way you can use the RF gain control to help manage the pileup. But I recommend keeping the AGC on so that you don't get blasted by a very strong signal after you have been straining to pull out a weak one with the af gain turned up. 73, andy ae6y

I know we are going to have some pretty big pileups. I recall reading about the VP6DX guys probably using no AGC and riding the RF gain if my memory is correct. Are there any other tweaks that might come in handy? -- Mike W0MU J6M CQ WW DX CW Contest 2011 J6/W0MU November 21 - December 1 2011 W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
