You are welcome Bob. If you are going to use the attenuators to reduce signal strength to check linearity or something, you might not get what you expect if AGC is on. With AGC off the K3 is pretty linear from MDS to over s9 or so. The ke7x website has some curves showing this as does "the k3 book". Cheers, Fred www.ke7x.com

Whoda thunk it was relative to the last measurement! I ordered some BNC attenuators in the usual ranges. Tracking says they arrive today. thanks for the help!! and RR on the forgetting to make the effort to "Reply All". This happens to me several times a day but now I don't bother to go back and re-do it on any of the "Lists" I am on. I think Admin's set it that way to reduce overall List-Traffic . I could argue either way on the topic. -- Best regards, Bob KD7YZ Win7-64bit + K3 ______________________________________________________________ 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
