Hi Wayne and all, Just before our MARS net tonight I installed Beta 3.03. When the net started I had a lot of distortion on all the signals regardless of signal strength. It sounded like the static went up as stations spoke. I did not know what was changed so I reloaded FW 2.78 complete (during the net!). I then got back the good signal quality I was used to. I then copied down the agc settings which I believe are stock.
I then reloaded beta 3.03 (during the net!), The distortion was back. All the AGC settings were the same except for the new AGC variable "AGC DCY" was set to "nor". I changed this to "soft" and got most of the nice voice quality back (not all - still some distortion). I then changed AGC HLD to .03 like you suggest. I wll keep these settings for now. 73, Steve Pituch, W2MY, AAR6CX -----Original Message----- From: wayne burdick Hi Jack, I'm presently using all the defaults, plus AGC HLD = 0.3 (slow AGC hold time in seconds) and AGC DCY = Soft (soft-decay characteristic for both fast and slow AGC). The AGC HLD and AGC DCY settings should prove very useful during pileups, although some ops may prefer to leave them off. As you suggested, experimentation is in order. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
