I see in the K3 & KX3 Programmer's Reference (page 16) that the AGC threshold, MN044 or MP044, is accessible via software. I have what DXLab calls user-defined sliders for AF and RF gain and power; maybe a similar slider could be created for AGC threshold. Or maybe a stepped macro for the radio or the K-Pod could be developed.
73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- I'm not sure if this is on the list of requested firmware features, so I'll mention it here just in case: Request 1: I'd like to be able to adjust the RX filter shift/width while transmitting. I often take a moment to assess things like passband, RIT, etc. when CQing during a contest, and if I'm extensively using the narrowest filter/shift to dig out weak signals, I like to revert to a wider passband for the next QSO. While I know I could do this using a CAT command, I'd like to be able to do it using the knob. Request 2: After using a Flex Maestro there is one clever feature that I think the K3 could incorporate via a small firmware change. The Maestro has a front panel knob that adjusts the AGC threshold. I find this useful because in some band conditions turning the knob feels like it makes a big improvement (different signal levels, static, etc.). I'd like to request that one of the K3's front-panel encoders be optionally made to adjust AGC threshold. Perhaps VFOB or the RIT knob -- perhaps both RIT and XIT lights could come on when that knob was in AGC THRESH mode. (maybe a knob on the K-Pod could be assigned to this as well... I don't own one yet). 73, Matt NQ6N ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
