Terry, With AGC OFF, your first line of defense is to set CONFIG:AF LIM to something in the 18-24 range so that the limiter will jump in to protect your ears when a strong signal appears.
The "AF output protection" feature kicks in at a *much* higher level. To trigger its muting action, you'd have to inject a very strong signal (say S9+50) along with max RF GAIN. We've had a few reports that this AF muting comes in a little too soon in the AGC OFF case, and we'll be updating the firmware soon to move this threshold upward. 73, Wayne N6KR On Dec 10, 2009, at 6:40 AM, Terry wrote: > Sorry I have `missed the boat` on this thread. > I use my K3 most of the time with AGC Off as I find this offers best > weak signal performance.
