To be honest, I've never tried that very often. The one or two times I have done so (AGC off, RF Gain at max) have not been pleasant experiences. The only time I get a pileup of weak signals is working Europe from here in Arizona, and that means I have to point through some very loud signals on the East Coast ... it only takes one of them to cross my passband to teach me a lesson.
If I get the chance during the upcoming ARRL 10m contest I'll give it another try. I'll also try to record the entire contest to see if I can come up with a decent sound clip. 73, Dave AB7E On 12/5/2011 10:57 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > David, > > Does turning AGC off (but leaving RF GAIN at max) ever "un-blur" the > signals? > > Wayne > N6KR > > > On Dec 5, 2011, at 9:39 AM, David Gilbert wrote: > >> >> "The only time I heard mush on the K3 was when we had worked down the >> pileup and only had very low strength guys all calling on the same >> frequency (the packet/reverse beacon spotting phenomenon)." >> >> >> Multiple low level signals close in frequency is EXACTLY the situation >> that I and at least several others are concerned about. > > > ______________________________________________________________ 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
