This thread is a great example of Elecraft excellence. The changes in user-adjustable AGC parameters were a result of the company remaining open to feature details while they got customer feedback, primarily through field test. Now that production units are shipping, a larger number of customers can give specific feedback and they will be heard. If there is good rationale for additional AGC parameters, such as those described in the FAQs but subsequently removed, then Elecraft will be all ears.
Simply arguing that the product has a few differences from the FAQs is not useful, because any changes were very seriously considered and based on a lot of testing and discussion between the field testers and the Elecraft team. The only reason for changes is that customer interaction and usage of the product led to enhanced conclusions. What is very helpful is specific rationale such as Don outlined today about what he wants in AGC control and why. If warranted, the AGC control parameters will be improved further. Don't be surprised if you find other details different between the current radio and the past FAQs. And don't be surprised if future firmware versions continue to change and enhance the radio. And, particularly don't be surprised when you give good sound feedback with specific use scenarios and the product improves further in the future. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
