Hi Bill, It all depends upon the range of loudness range you want your ears to tolerate.
I did some plots (SLOPE=12) for THR =10, 12, 13. I used the K3 S meter high resolution readout, the K3 dBV readout and a variable output signal generator. The RF gain calibration and Smeter calibration were done first using an XG2. With a THR of 13, I get about a 40db change from the min detectable signal and S9+50db. The AGC kicks in at about S6-7 with these settings. Lower values of THR give lower S meter values of AGC activation and less audio range. The starting values were really obtained by what sounded good. The data collection was done after. So ears work as a way to set these parameters. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 5/13/2012 6:01 PM, NZ0T wrote: > I just downloaded 4.51 and before I start messing around with changing > settings can anyone recommend a good starting point for general use? > > 73 Bill NZ0T > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Recommended-AGC-settings-for-4-51-tp7555513.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > > > ----- > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2012.0.2171 / Virus Database: 2425/4997 - Release Date: 05/13/12 > > > ______________________________________________________________ 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
