One of the knocks I've heard from knowledgeable people like Rob
Sherwood on most of the new DSP-generation radios is that DSP-driven
AGCs won't tolerate/ignore short-duration (~1ms) high-amplitude
transient pops without kicking in to reduce gain every time one
occurs. Will the AGC settings described earlier allow the AGC to be
set up to tolerate certain characteristics in the energy waveform
(like a very fast rise-time) while responding to others?
Yes. The DSP works in conjunction with hardware AGC to smoothly handle
signals like this. In addition the K3's hardware noise blanker would
remove such "pops" when enabled. It has a variable threshold, so you
could leave it on and set for a high threshold if random pops were an
issue on a given band.
