At THR=20, the SLP is irrelevant. All SLP values result in the same effect, approximately SLP=15. At higher THR settings, the SLP is flattened to protect your ears, and at the maximum THR=20 the SLP is horizontal, i.e., SLP=15, regardless of what value used for SLP.
Only by turning off AGC will the K3 AGC function go as high as the hardware AGC. Ed W0YK Dave, K6LL, wrote: > I'll be in the WPX CW this weekend, using the rare prefix > call sign KZ7X.
