The AF Limiter in the K3 is designed to allow you to protect your hearing when you have the AGC off and gain cranked up to hear the signal buried in the noise just as your neighbor with his beam bore-sighted on your QTH and running the Alpha amplifier starts transmitting on that same frequency.
Note that the AF Limiter level is completely adjustable when AGC is OFF. At its highest setting it clips just at the threshold that the audio amplifiers in the K3 otherwise limit/clip. In fact, when AGC is ON, the AF Limiter is still present but set to this highest level. So, if it bothers you, please set it higher :-) Enjoy! 73, Lyle KK7P (at 38,000 feet enjoying in-flight WiFi) > you have to deal with the crazy AF Limiter. ______________________________________________________________ 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
