[Elecraft] K3 RF gain kicks in rather than smooth increase

When turning the RF gain from minimum to about 9 o'clock there is a jump where it seems to turn on rather than a smooth transition. It works as expected and I didn't think anything of it really until I got my sub-receiver placed. The sub-receiver RF gain acts like I have experienced on other

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RF gain kicks in rather than smooth increase

Stan, I don't have a direct answer, but rather a comment. The operation of the RF Gain control is dependent on the settings of the AGC parameters, particularly the Threshold and the Slope. You might want to try varying those a bit to see if you find a difference. 73, Don W3FPR On

Stan, I'd suggest that you (re)run the Calibrate RF GAIN procedure in the K3 Utility. That resolved the issue for me. Dale On 2/13/2013 4:22 PM, Stan AE7UT wrote: When turning the RF gain from minimum to about 9 o'clock there is a jump where it seems to turn on rather than a smooth

Thanks for the replies. Yes Don I tried varying the AGC parameters with no effect. Dale I'll rerun the RF gain calibration. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know! 73 Stan AE7UT -- View this message in context:
