Yeah, that sort of design is pretty much "on" or "off", and off is usually down at "minimum", Hi!
It acts as an input attenuator in the rx antenna circuit. Mine is full up all the time (and I have the AGC disabled because I like using my KX1 as an RF "voltmeter" measuring the audio output to compare signal levels). With the AGC working the AGC will try to compensate for turning down the RF gain by raising the audio gain as much as it can! You will find that the RF gain control is very useful if you ever find yourself in quite close proximity of a very strong signal. It does a decent job of cutting down powerful locals so they don't overload the NE602 mixer, but otherwise it's seldom needed. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hi all, I was wondering if the KX1 users out there have any comments about the RF gain pot. Mine appears to be working, but it doesn't seem to do that much (i.e., little difference between "low" and "high". Is that everyone else's experience as well...or might I need to check something somewhere? Here's what I know: -the pot is "good" (tested with DMM) -good solder joints -other parts are in the right place Thanks. -john _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
