should such a flexible radio be hobbled in this manner? (assuming, of course, that it is actually limited as such, as opposed to me setting it up wrong :) ). --- On Wed, 1/7/09, Bob Cunnings wrote: > From: Bob Cunnings > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Mildly confused - Assumed filter width and what

Disabling the AGC in the K3 certainly does "do the trick" in terms of preventing strong signals in the passband from reducing receiver gain and thus affecting the weaker signal I'm decoding - that's exactly why I do it. As for ADC overload -that's a risk I'm well aware of but most of the time it's

Bob, That will do the trick in an analog only receiver, but a receiver like the K3 has an analog front end followed by an ADC and DSP processor. The trick is to keep from overloading the ADC - should that happen, the copy will be garbage. That situation is not limited to the K3 - overload of

I simply disable AGC when I wish to run a wide receive bandwith with PSK31 for "point and click" tuning - precisely to avoid such a problem. Bob NW8L On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 5:44 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Thomas, > > I will not answer your questions directly, > BUT > From an operational standpoin

Thomas, I will not answer your questions directly, BUT From an operational standpoint, using a wide bandwidth for data modes is *not* the best way to do it. The reason is AGC in the radio. Any signal in the receiver passband can activate the AGC - and that is fine *if and only if* the stronges

This is the current state of the radio : the 6 khz filter is in FL2, the 2.7 khz filter is in FL3. ESSB is on, and set to 4.0, complete with the '+' displaying in the right of the display when USB/LSB is used (note that it is off during DATA modes). AM TX is set to FL2, SSB TX is set to FL3 (it
