I also worked in the cqww, dealing with weak and strong signals.
I set my agc to agc-s with menu setting on 40. Also on is the soft decay and I switched the agc pls to off. This worked reasonably well. The agc is fast enouogh to recover from a strong station, and slow enough to hold the gain constant when a station is calling. If stations call on exact the same freq (caused by riding the dx cluster or some software program instead of finding the stations yourself), bad luck. But I can manage that. The only thing that annoyed me was that the signals within the roofing filter (400Hz) and outside dsp passband pumped the agc just a few times to many (the hardware agc so I understand). Wouldn't it be nice if this could be switched to different settings in a menu or so. Same thing for bringing the notch into the agc-loop. 73, Arie PA3A ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
