I was perhaps the first one to encounter this "AGC Off" problem and ultimately changed X1 to solve the problem.
Nosey's comment below re the improved S-meter action caused me to try something. I am currently realigning and tweaking K2 5044 that I built last August and remembered that there had been (and still is) a lot of "weirdness" in the S meter action. Very difficult to get it set correctly; anyway, I decided to replace Ctrl-C8 with a 10 pf cap to see what difference it made. Well, it made all the difference in the world. Now very easy to set the AGC threshold level, S meter Low, and S meter High. I checked it with the 50 mV from XG-1 and it is about S9 + a wee bit with Pre and Att OFF. It reacts sanely and appropriately.

Yay! Me too! Much easier than sending off to Elecraft for a new X1. When I tune the RWM pips with fast AGC, it properly goes "pip sssSSSHH pip sssSSSHH pip sssSSSHH", and more importantly, when I turn the AGC OFF, the rig doesn't go deaf. The S-Meter looks a whole lot more believable too, the rig feels a whole lot more sensitive, and now I can turn AGC off, I can confirm that my N-GEN really does work after all! _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
