Hi again, I got several very nice responses to my question already, and it seems I need to do some adjusting. My AGC threshold was set at 5, which apparently is too low. I've also increased by AGC slope setting as well. I'll have to check all this out with some weaker signals to see just

Dave, That's good advice. I usually keep my AGC THR set to about 18. However, the higher the threshold, the closer the dynamic range approaches that of no AGC, but without the danger of overload or hitting the limiter that will protect your hearing. If that isn't to your liking try dropping it

You can use any microphone you like, provided you take care of the wiring. You can either retire the mic, or rewrite the K2 to match the mic. There is a MAB board available that makes it easier to rewire the K2 by using jumpers. 73, Matt VK2RQ On 20 Mar 2015, at 6:56 am, Aaron Scott

Hi Dave, Here is an easy test to see what THR level you should use. First, set the SLP to 15. That will give the most AGC action -- all signal strengths will sound about the same. You might want to do this if you are listening to a round table of differing strength signals. I keep my SLP = 0,

[Elecraft] RF gain calibration - K3 Utilities

Hello Elecrafters, In the K3 utilities, there is a calibration for RF gain.  Do I need to do it per band? Or just do one calibration at 40m? I now have a SARK-110 antenna analyzer / single generator so that I can do per band calibration if necessary. Any advice? 73 Johnny VR2XMC
