I have seen that when you need receive very weak signals, signals improve a lot with AGC THR set at 15 (usually for a more silent reception I use THR 7). Ian IK4EWX -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft

Duane, important is to set fine tuning (1Hz) when using the APF as the only precise tune on spot will effectively pulling out this weak sig from the noise. I do not understand why the K3/K3S never got as same feature as KX3 > switching to fine tuning automatically when APF is ON... Also try to

I use an audio spectrum display - Spectrogram - to fine tune a barely there weak signal. Set tuning rate to 1 Hz - the APF peak is less than 10 Hz. Set the frequency cursor in Spectrogram to your pitch frequency. Set the DSP bandwidth wide so the NR works effectively ~ 700 Hz. Use NR mode ~m5-3

Would anyone be willing to offer suggestions/recommendations? Your setup of the K3s to maximize weak signal cw reception? I especially would like to figure out how to maximize the APF without ringing. Sincere thanks Duane __ Elecraft
