Did anyone notice more than normal hum on signals? I don't think it was the new settings as some stations had it, most didn't but I would just like to make sure it wasn't just me.
I also run with the gain wide open and while running stations would get the loud one that would blow my ear drums. I didn't' try returning the settings to defaults. But I am still searching for good settings. 73, Tim Herrick, KQ8M Charter Member North Coast Contesters k...@kq8m.com K3 Serial #5934 AR-Cluster V6 kq8m.no-ip.org User Ports: 23, 7373 with local skimmer, 7374 without local skimmer Server Ports: V6 3607, V4 Active 3605, V4 Passive 3606 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Robby.VY2SS Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 8:27 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Rev 4.51 firmware - what AGC settings worked on big pile-ups with loud AND weak signals in the WPX? I had limited time available for the WPX and operated as VF2A. I loaded v4.51 beta before the contest to try it out. I tried the settings mentioned above before the contest. I cannot imagine using them. I cannot imagine spending the entire contest with my hand on the gain controls to prevent serious ear damage. I run my RF gain wide open. Always. I finally changed my settings to the defaults in my owners manual. I contested with both hands on the keyboard. I worked the weak stations with no difficulty and the strong ones with no pain. I do not expect every improvement to be useful to me. Everyone configures and uses their K3 differently. I am very impressed that Elecraft is able (and willing) to keep improving our equipment. I have never regretted buying anything from them. -Robby VY2SS -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Rev-4-51-firmware-what-AGC-settings-worked-on-big-pile-ups-with-loud-AND-weak-signals-in-the-WP X-tp7556676p7556740.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
