It sounds like I have the same problem as Jack, and I upgraded from 2.82. The noise floor appears to rise with the signals and there is a crackle generated by the speech peaks. It all sounds quite strange. Stephen G4SJP K3#980 On 18/03/2009 01:00, list1 li...@pituch.net wrote: Hi Wayne

Hi Jack, I'm presently using all the defaults, plus AGC HLD = 0.3 (slow AGC hold time in seconds) and AGC DCY = Soft (soft-decay characteristic for both fast and slow AGC). The AGC HLD and AGC DCY settings should prove very useful during pileups, although some ops may prefer to leave them off.

Hi All, On another net now. OK, using AGC HLD = .3 and AGC DCY = SOFT. Quality sounds good. With Version 2.78 AGC HLD defaulted to 0.0. That was my problem. Steve, W2MY, AAR6CX -Original Message- From: wayne burdick [mailto:n...@elecraft.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 8:10 PM
