This capacitor value also affects the behavior of the speaker amplifier when headphones are inserted/removed. The present value was arrived at after a lot of testing with the Field Test group prior to product release. Many years ago I developed the habit of always turning AF Gain to minimum when I turn any radio off in my ham shack (or media room, or...), and ensuring it is low before turning any radio on. Like wearing a seat belt, it's probably not necessary -- but then comes the one time you're glad you did :-) 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
