Hi Everyone, While only my second post to the reflector, I have read everything about the K3 here since last May. I have my K3 order in queue in the second run in November.
First to Eric, Wayne and all at Elecraft, my hearty congratulations on the birthing of the K3 this week. If the User Manual is representative of the tranceiver, this is going to be one fine journey ahead for us all. But I need some enlightenment. In reading the FAQ's concerning the AGC parameters of the K3, I found the following discussion: "Are the settings variable in terms of attack, hang, and decay? In the menu, you can set the following parameters for AGC: Attack time, Hold (Hang) time, Decay rate (in dB/sec for Fast and Slow), Threshold, and Slope. Slope sets the compression you get from AGC, whether you like everything above the threshold to be flat (S4 and 40 over S9 are the same level) or some sort of slope (2:1, 10:1 whatever) so stronger signals are somewhat louder." In the User Manual under the program menus on page 50, I only see adjustable AGC paramenters for Hold, Pulse and Slope. Nothing on adjusting the 'attack time', 'decay rate' or 'threshold'. Did I miss something elsewhere in the manual or am I misinterpreting something? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Now...Wayne and Eric, et. al. ...bring on that K3 panadaptor and especially that KPA800 Linear! 73 de N1LQ-Dave _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
