Aloha from Hawaii! As this is my first post to this reflector, I suppose I should introduce myself...I'm Dave, K6DCH. QTH Kauai, Hawaii, and I am the satisfied owner/operator of K3 Serial # 3019. :-)
I've been reading the various posts recently about how to set up for digital modes using the Data mode on the K3. I have also been reading the other posts about how to set the ACG, the RF gain, etc. A question comes to mind about this: Does the advice on dialing back the RF gain, as tendered on this reflector, apply to when one is running digital? For example, I've recently started playing with Olivia since it is noted for weak signal robustness. Would I run the rig with the RF gain wide open, or would I still dial it back to the point where the S meter just stops flickering? My first instinct is to run with the RF gain more open than that since Olivia communications succeed at signal levels below the noise floor, but I wanted to do something of a sanity check amongst other K3 users to see if I'm thinking about this right or not. I have benefited greatly by reading this reflector and appreciate everyone's contributions. All the best, Dave, K6DCH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
