Michael, You probably read that statement coming from me since I have posted it frequently.
Even on a 'quiet' 10 meter band there is the liklyhood that there is still some atmospheric noise. Try doing it with the antenna disconnected (so all the noise is actual receiver internal noise). I believe you will find the proper setting a bit higher than you have right now. Yes, I have found some variability from K2 to K2 (which I attribute to internal gain variability), and also variability depending on the bandwidth. I normally use a CW filter set for a bandwidth of 0.70 for this adjustment and it works well for me - and usually produces a AGC Threshold pot setting of close to 3.7 volts (+/- 0.05 volts). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I've read that the correct AGC voltage for _most_ K2s falls into the > 3.65v to 3.8v range.
