Hi Barry,
Good ideas. It will be an interesting challenge to eek out the best possible performance from each radio-under-test. We'll learn a lot. tks 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2020 7:49:50 PM Subject: Re[2]: [Elecraft] Transceiver Test Bed at W3LPL Frank, I can't speak to the other radios, but you do need to fiddle the values of the AGC on the K3s to get the best out of the radios. I think the defaults are just to see if the radio works or is where it was left while undergoing QC at Elecraft. BTW: I'm glad one of us is doing something worthwhile. ;-) 73, Barry K3NDM ------ Original Message ------ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 3/31/2020 3:39:44 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Transceiver Test Bed at W3LPL >Hi Jim, > > >Very good ideas!
