Well, I don't have any signals here, but with S-6 noise level I find the maximum threshold (=8) is very aggressive. I would have thought the threshold would have a greater range than this; i.e., the maximum value not cutting in as low as s-6 or lower. (But I don't know what it was with the previous MCU version.) Is there a graph available relating AGC threshold values (onset of AGC action) to s-meter readings? Just curious. But really, I guess there isn't much point in fooling with it until there are a few signals on the bands. 73, Drew AF2Z _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
