This includes the K3; manual RF gain control or AGC are not applied to any stage ahead of the first mixer. The "RF Gain" control operates on only one stage, the 8.215MHz IF amplifier, which is also controlled by the hardware AGC. The only controls in the K3 that affect signal levels *ahead* of the first mixer are the PREamp and ATTenuator buttons - just two steps of about 10dB each. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ 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
