Thanks to everyone for insignt on this, has anyone found a better AGC setup for phone? Being a long time VHFer I decided to be seious in a HF phone contest for the first time in 30 years. I've used my K3 for three cw contests and even though I'm a poor cw op, the K3 made coping so easy I figured a phone contest was next.
For some crazy reason, I thought I would try 20m single band. Ok, all you HFers can stop laughing and get off the floor now, what a zoo!! Is it a pre-requeset that everyone drink 5 cans of Jolt before starting? I had issues with stations either 2 khz below or 1.8 khz above really chewing me up. I tried playing with the bandwidth and shift but I need to play more with it and the lo and hi cuts. You really get spoiled with the way you can copy S0 stations on cw between two big cw signals. The K3 really handled the strong signals beyond my imagination, no fur-burgers or other interference that I see in other rigs. Even though the old TS-850's are really good rigs, someone 10 khz away that is 20 over S9 would create "issues", not on the K3. I'm waiting for the new firmware release with CONFG:NOQRM - Wayne, please add this to the top of the list!!
