Ah, okay Mike, I missed that this was already universally rejected by everybody... I assumed TenTec and Yeasu tried to implement this for a good reason, but weren't succesfull, and I had the illusion Elecraft could be the first to come up with a good solution. But ofcourse I won't stand up to a

If you wish to continue this discussion with me please, let's do it through private emails, not on the reflector. Tom, I'v sent you the qwerty link privately. But this topic was about a query, not qwerty :-) The query was about a scalable IF gain/AGC threshold, compensating the higher

2010-06-16 Thread Sam Morgan
I'm not certain of this, but it seems to me that there is a difference, in the settings for AGC THR and SLP that I need to be running, for best weak signal reception on 160m compared to when I'm on 17m. Is there something I'm missing as the operator, or would it be possible to include those 2

Hi Sam, I often thought about this as well. Since the noisefloor is generally much higher on the lower bands, it would be nice if AGC threshold or RX IF gain could be scaled in relation to bandnoise levels. To do this you would need to use a table with a few setting points across HF and have

Then one starts getting into trouble with using RX antennas with low gain, where the RX gain and pre usage IS appropriate. The FT1000MP *DID* have the de-emphasis you speak about. Over about a decade of usage, I wound up turning the de-emphasis off more than not, for use on RX antennas. The
