Michael N9BDF asked: Should the receiver's AGC be disabled when testing a transmitter for key clicks -- does it matter? Does it make the transmitter "sound" worse or better?
-------------------------------- Yes, AGC can make the clicks worse, but the BIG issue is to avoid putting too much signal into the receiver. Unless your rig is no 'louder' (or registers on the S-meter no higher) than other signals on the band when you key your rig, what you hear is probably not what others hear. You'll hear stuff that's not audible a few hundred feet from your shack. AGC attack characteristics can make clicks worse, and if you are hitting the receiver too hard the receiver itself will produce clicks for you that aren't on your signal.
