I found an article a while back that extolled the virtue of running with
the volume all the way up, but the RF gain down. That way, you don't
amplify the noise along with the signal, if the signal is sticking up out
of the noise at all. It works pretty well! I'd get so frustrated trying to
keep
You can reduce the LIN OUT level via the Config menu in the radio.
Normal is 010. I would back that value down.
I use Windows 10 thus I have full control of all levels via the
computer. Also I use the USB connection between the radio and computer
and do not need a Signalink.
I can't
There is no reason to always run RF gain at maximum. Otherwise
there wouldn't be a control.
I have always set up FT8 with the gains about 12 o'clock and
adjusted the RF gain so the signal strength meter in wsjt-x is
about 60 to 70. This adjustment gives the maximum level for the
weak signals
The Elecraft K3s manual states over and over that the RF gain should always be
wide open. I had been running it at about 12 o'clock on FT8 for some time
before this was brought to my attention. I supposed that 100% RF gain could
possibly show me weak stations I’d not seen before, so I’m trying
