Ken,
Answer 1: The slope number refers to the AGC action, and that is the
inverse of the audio response. If charts are helpful to you, Jack
Smith has measured and plotted the AGC response for the K3 - see
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/elecraft_k3_agc_and_s-meter.htm#AGC_SLP_and_AGC_THR
I also wondered about that. The slope of a line (the ratio of vertical
to horizontal displacement) is flatter for lower values. But in the K3
a smaller SLP value means a steeper AGC curve (the AF output changes
more for a given change in RF signal). SLP=0 really means least AGC
action, not
That certainly helps me a lot, I have been struggling with K3 AGC
settings and this helps a lot, I don't remember seeing this posted
before.
So thanks to Don for posting the link and many, many thanks to Jack
for making it clearer.
I just need to read that a few more times now.

Olli,
I don't think it is so difficult that one needs AGC for dummies. If
you want every signal to have about the same audio level, then set the
slope to a higher number, but if you want to hear that a strong signal
is louder than a weaker signal by ear (without looking at the S-meter),
then

Question 1: AGC SLP: The manual reads wrong to me in the discussion pp 53.
Wouldn't a slope of zero keep signals from going up in volume more so than a
slope of 10? I think of a higher slope meaning faster audio increase as
signals get stronger.

Question 1: AGC SLP
The lowband season is well underway, and I'm
really enjoying it with my new K3. I'm enjoying
the low pitch CW capability (my current setting
is 320 Hz), and the 400 Hz 8-pole roofing filter
that I use most of the time.
In my rather noisy inner suburban location, I'm
using both the noise

But I need some enlightenment. In reading the FAQ's concerning the
AGC parameters of the K3, I found the following discussion:
Are the settings variable in terms of attack, hang, and decay? In

Hi Greg and the List,
Thanks for your comment. But...
AGC parameter control is a major issue for some of us. It represents a
major deviation form what was discussed initially in the FAQ's.
I'm sure its lack discussion in light of the change and the million
things going on was an oversight
