Maybe AGC just isn't working on the 480? Just kidding :-) The motto of California State Polytechnic University ["Cal Poly"], my beloved alma mater is, "Learn by Doing." It was never painful. I could do the motto in Latin for you except the T-shirt that has the school seal on it is in the laundry, and I'm not digging into that smelly place until I really have to. In the "olden days," one copied CW with the AF gain all the way up and the RF gain for appropriate volume. Had to do with the fixed BFO level in receivers. I don't do that any more, AGC nowadays is sooo good. Still trying to find the best AGC slope in my K3. I like stronger signals to sound louder, but not a whole lot, the dynamic range for my ears is nowhere near what I was born with. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2009 Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2009 - www.cqp.org _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
