Guy,
Actually, the RF gain control does have an affect on the analog, as does the
AGC. There are 2 types of AGC in the K3, the first is the more obvious that
is controlled by the AGC Slow/Fast/Off and the second is a hardware AGC that
protects the A/D converters. The "normal" AGC is summed with t
Don,
I have 1.3.10.15, and in fact had done a calibration using the XG2 with it.
Still
waiting to hear why Dale recommended factory defaults. He should be getting to
the
office soon.
I assume (yeah I know) when using the XG2, it doesn't matter which of the 3
freqs I
use.

Mike,
Recently a bug was found with the RF Gain Calibration routine in K3
Utility did not properly save the new data.
If you were not using the very latest K3 Utility, that would explain
many anomalies. Moral - download the latest K3 Utility and try again.

I understand that the knob labeled RF doesn't really control RF gain, but since
Elecraft labeled it that way, I think it's better to reference it that way.

The thing to note here, this ain't your daddy's analog radio, the only
actual "stage gain" adjustments you have are ATT and PRE. The rest is
all in the numbers, as the front panel knobs are just numerical advice
to the firmware. They don't directly control anything.
What needs to happen is a cal
Thanks, Vic.
Per Dale's suggestion I did a calibration using factory defaults, and the dead
spot
is gone, and the S-meter is back to rising with a decrease of RF gain. Dagnab
it.

Also check you CONFIG SMTR MD. May be on ABS vice NOR??

My guess is that you need to do the RF Gain Calibration procedure with the K3
utility. If
you have an XG1 or XG2 you can use it as a calibrated source, or if not you can
tell the
utility to use the factory default settings.

Tonight I noticed that from about 2:00 to 2:30 on the RF gain encoder, the
receiver
goes dead. It's not dependent on the THR or SLP settings which I adjusted to

some advice given here short time past.
I also realized my S-meter doesn't rise as the RF gain is reduced. I like that,
but I
