During the CQWW CW we found that RIGHT AFTER a transmission the RX AGC was STILL busy doing its job and getting back to a lower level (s-meter dropping from about s9 to the band noise level) (AGC was at slow). We SUSPECT that the AGC was still at the level from BEFORE the transmission. So working a strong station gives a problem if the next one is weak, you'll miss the first letters of the call. We're not sure about the cause but we encoutered this problem quite often. It would be better that after a transmission the RX would start at band noise level and that there is no legacy whatsoever. Anyway, the work around was setting the AGC to fast. Did anyone else experience this? Is this a known problem? Setting agc: threshold 5, the AGC ramp-up at 12, the fall-off setting at default value (20) SW: latest Beta. K3 # 1255 73 Arie PA3A
