If CONFIG:PB CTRL is set to .01 in CW mode, then, per the function description in the K3 Owners Manual (pp. 62 in Manual Revision A1), you will be limited to the Shift/Width controls mode only. Change PB CTRL to .05 and you will also enable LO/HI cut on the controls. 73, Mike On 2/26/2017

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver mush

I experienced the mush as well and then rode the RF gain. The problem is due to AGC reacting way too fast when in FAST. It seems that higher HLD should solve the issue but it does not. I am wondering whether HLD is applicable to AGC SLOW only? If so, the other choice is to reprogram AGC SLOW, as

Actually it's not the 250 Hz roofing filter that is too narrow, it is the 250 Hz DSP filter setting. If you ignore the label on the roofing filter and configure the K3 to switch the 250 Hz crystal filter in at the 350 Hz DSP setting, the combination (350 Hz DSP, 250 Hz roofing filter) works fine

Dave, I do lots of rtty contesting. I have found the 400Hz filter to be just right for rtty. The 250 is too narrow. I then narrow the DSP filter to 300Hz if needed, with the 400Hz Xtal filter in front. Gordon - N1MGO On 02/21/2017 06:27 PM, Dave Fugleberg wrote: Don, that's a great

Sounds like very strong signals with fast agc with its decay set well into fast range. And if you have stations using spot frequency that will really muddle them. I have my fast agc set to its slowest possible decay and my slow agc set to fastest possible decay. Then I only use the fast in heavy

We noticed again during the contest hat when 3 or 4 stations called, all those signals would be flattened to the same level. Once you got to where one or two stations were calling the signal level would pop up substantially. I have played endlessly with slope and threshold with little effect.
