In testing the new firmware, I discovered that K3-EZ version 2.0.0.5 will not allow AGC THR to be set above 8 and advised that this is not possible in nice red text :)
N2BC will have to modify this in a later release when this new rev goes into the wild. Of course, no problem in changing it on the radio front panel. First impressions are quite good. Only tried it on SSB but there is much more separation of signal levels than before with no changes in the settings I had in the rig. The higher the AGC THR, the more "open" the receiver sounds. Have not needed the noise blanker yet. I also hear much tighter dynamics control... less "suck out" on loud signals and the AGC decay ramps up a bit quicker than before. This may or may not be "real" but preceived effect of less AGC action. The audio is much more "open" than before from a dynamics standpoint. Much more pronouced difference in loud vs soft signals now, with the same settings that I had before, just the change in the firmware. Nice start, gents. Will try on CW later tonight. -lu-w4lt- K3 #3192 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
