Everything appears to be good except you do not need the AGC-T set that high with the extra gain provided by the preamp. Set the AGC-T as per this KB article. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50153.aspx

Using two 3' RG59 75 ohm patch cables to connect the preamp in the RX1 loop. I read the KB article on the antenna setup for using the RX1 loop and have that setup per the instructions, but I want to pass this by the group to make sure I have all my other settings correct. Of course I have the RX1 loop enabled, but I also have the preamp controls for 6 meters enabled and the preamp (Power SDR) turned off. Since the gain of the P50VDG is listed as 24 dB I have the gain box in the antenna selection window set at 24 dB, and the AGC-T I left set at 110. Does this appear to be correct? The external preamp is working fine, I'm just a little concerned seeing the noise floor on the panadapter drop so significantly. I want to make sure my receiver S meter readings continue to be accurate. 73, Gary - WA4IAM _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to [email protected] _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to [email protected]
