[Elecraft] firmware 4.18 and AGC

2010-11-06 Thread Arie Kleingeld PA3A
AGC slow acting weird.

Situation:
Listening in the Ukrainian contest in cw this evening. Noise level is 
about s5. Listening to a running station that is s9+20, cw speed about 
35wpm. AGC is on slow and rf-gain in fully clockwise.

After a silence in signal (meter on s5) when te station starts to 
transmit, the agc is working but without any hold time, so sounds like 
agc-fast with very fast decay. After the first few dits and dahs (TU) 
the agc holds and works like it should on agc-slow.
I have heard that before but not as frequent.
I think this is a bug.



Other settings for your info:
mode : cw
band: 40m
firmware: 4.18
agc pls: nor
agc hold: 15
agc dcy: soft
agc slp: 013
agc thr: 006
agc-f: 100
agc-s: 020


best regards,
Arie PA3A

Firmware 4.18 has been recalled.  Do not bother to post any more
problems with 4.18.

73, Guy.
