Yes, Paul the K2's AGC is definitely "soft". Soft in that it has some slope to it with quiet signals sounding quieter than loud.
And I love it that way. In fact that is one of a handful of factors that make the K2 such a sweet sounding radio and such a pleasure to listen to. I've had rigs (good rigs) with hard AGCs and they leave me feeling assaulted after a whle under the headphones. Obviously, this is only my opinion, and YMHV (your mileage has varied) - but in my book the K2's AGC is top notch. 73! - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - -----Original Message----- While some folks like a slightly soft AGC in the receiver, I'm one of those folks that finds that soft signals received softer than loud signals (especially SSB) is tiring. I prefer a very stiff and level AGC. Mind you, this has nothing to do with the fast/slow delay rates or anything along those lines. -Paul Pollock KD7BWB _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
