[Elecraft] K3 - lightning static reduction
I received an email from a trusted friend that mentioned a new menu adjustment that prevents the AGC from acting on sudden bursts. Any info on that? I must have been in my cave that day.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - lightning static reduction
You may be referring to the AGC PLS (AGC pulse) setting, which prevents a short pulse from activating AGC. It is on by default. It is intended to prevent the situation, common on some receivers, that a single strong pulse deafens the receiver for a long period. I don't think this would be helpful with lightning static, though, which is repetitive longish pulses.

See the AGC PULS entry under the CONFIG Menu - Tech Mode section of your K3 Owner's Manual. I think your friend meant that he newly discovered the feature, it has been in the radio for a very long time. 73, Lyle KK7P I received an email from a trusted friend that mentioned a new menu adjustment that prevents the AGC from acting on sudden bursts.

This is also very useful as part of the combination of settings that will nullify key clicks to a surprising degree. Sharpest possible skirts will convert the typical form of a key click to a very sharp pulse. The normal AGC PLS setting will freeze AGC for a very short period, but sufficient to prevent the pulse from pushing down the instaneous RF gain. With IF NB off, DSP NB t1-7. t2-7, and t3-7 will take care of the key click audio per se, making it possible to operate with some pretty bad clicks nearby. The DSP NB does not have the artifacts that IF NB has to have in crowded contest conditions. 73, Guy.
