I'm somewhat puzzled by the behavior of the AGC THR adjustment with respect to band noise. My understanding is that the AGC THR setting adjusts the level at which the AGC is activated. Thus, I would expect when listening to band noise (QRN) that if the noise is activating the AGC, using a higher number would prevent AGC activation, resulting in a lower background band noise. But, my experience with the K3 is just the opposite. When adjusting the AGC THR setting I get lower background band noise with a lower setting -- as a matter of fact, a setting of 2 (the lowest AGC THR) signficantly reduces the background noise relative to higher settings.
Can someone explain this to me? Steve N9SZ K3 #1672 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
