Hi all, My K3 #1263 was delivered in July with F/W MCU 2.18 DSP 1.84 and I was really enjoying the RX capabilities of the K3. Now that I have upgraded to 2.38/1.90 I believe the RX is more "restless" when listening to an "empty" space on the band. The S-meter is constantly on S5 with pre-amp ON and S3 with pre-amp OFF on the lower bands (30/40m). I have compensated that a bit by lowering the AGC threshold (from 5 to 4 now). I liked the initial F/W wrt AGC behavior better (less fatiguing to listen to).
I have read in the F/W history file that changes to the AGC have been made from F/W 2.22 onwards. So I wonder if other people have the same experience. I live in an urban area so it IS noisy out here. It is just the way the K3 deals with that noisy background level. When switching to ANT2 (not connected to anything) the RX goes virtually silent. -- Enno, PF5X -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/AGC-behaviour-tp1114728p1114728.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
