Here are my AGC settings: AGC Decay: soft Hld: 0.2 Pls: nor Slp: 0 Thr: 20 F: 200 AF lim: nor 030
Here are my observations, using those settings, during WPX CW: 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-WPX-td7556676.html#a7556700 Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, Arizona -----Original Message----- From: Richard Lee Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 2:07 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 AGC settings w/ MCU 4.51 Hello All, I own a K3, am running MCU 4.51, and operate virtually 100% cw. With respect to MCU 4.51, I note that the software site says, "AGC IMPROVEMENTS: AGC threshold (CONFIG:AGC THR) can now be set much higher, and the AGC has better (more monotonic) response curves. Greatly improves signal clarity in pile-ups and other high-noise or dense-signal situations, especially with threshold set to 12 or higher. NR and Auto-Notch can be used at all threshold settings." I set the AGC threshold up to 12 and find that stronger signals are too loud and strident, while weak signals are almost inaudible. I have the AGC decay on 'soft'; AGC hold on 0.00; AGC pls on 'nor'; AGC slp on 010, AGC F(ast) at 120. I'd like to survey K3 users (using MCU 4.51) WHO ARE SERIOUS CW CONTEST OPS WHO LIKE TO RUN, as to their preferred AGC settings (all of them, not just threshold). Thanks much for the input from the cw contesters who like to run! 73, -Rich, W2EG ______________________________________________________________ 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
