[Elecraft] K3 AGC Tutorial?

[cx7tt]

Hi Gang,
I would like to see a separate tutorial on the use of the DSP/NR/NB and
especially AGC. I have read with interest the thread on this and try to
understand the theory behind all this 'hang', 'decay', 'threshold', etc.
I have an Orion II and was initially baffled by all the complexity of
the settings. What finally worked for me was a section of their manual
which listed typical settings for weak signal work and another for
contesting. One gentleman listed why he wanted certain settings for
different requirements and that was very educational for me. Even though
I built a K2/100 with accessories (tip of the hat to W3FPR for helping
with the heavy lifting) I am basically an appliance operator. A pilot by
profession, I am used to checklists but also value thinking 'outside'
the box. My current large appliance is a B777 so complexity is not
overwhelming. There are so many gifted hams on this reflector that
understand all the nuances of AGC/DSP etc; I would love to have a
tutorial that lays out best settings for QRM/QRN, weak signal work,
contesting, dxing. Not only the settings but the 'why' on the different
hang, decay, threshold times. 
What say you?

[Elecraft] K3 AGC Tutorial?

Tom, you are a pilot but you are asking for a book
about Black Magic. !!!

Much of this is subjective, it may be easier to write
a book on how to fly a triple seven and look good
doing it. ;-)

I am so appreciative that the K3 guys trusted the user
to experiment with this, each user will now have his
own secret recipe for hearing the impossible signal.

Optimistically, few will achieve the inverse effect of
not hearing a possible signal (before heading over to
eHam to complain about the radio.) ;-)

The most successful guys will be the ones that focus
as much on their antennas as they do in the DSP.

Much of what you read about Orion may apply to K3 with
respect to AGC, I am eager to find out.
