Oh no! I fear this is going to get bogged down in definitions. From Wikipedia:
"Limiting can refer to non-linear clipping, in which a signal is passed through
normally but 'sheared off' when it would normally exceed a certain threshold.
It can also refer to a type of variable-gain audio level c

You could use the RX EQ menu and then do switch taps up and down to set the RE.

Hi Tony, first off I can help you with LP-Bridge sending data to your ACOM
2000a. In LP-Bridge, the read only outputs are hard coded to the kenwood
protocol at 4800 baud. So you can use LP-Bridge to get your ACOM 2000a to
track your K3 if you set the ACOM 2000A to Kenwood on the radio interface.

The AGC will not cause "hard limiting" - in other words, it should
maintain linearity.
Even though the strongest signal in the passband will control how much
AGC is applied, weaker signals in the passband should sound
proportionally weaker.
Now that you mention hard limiting, there is a limi
Is there any thought to having a menu option to set the reference level?
For example, there is one to set the Span, which I have used to assign
three of the menu buttons to give me a span of 20, 50 and 200 kHz. Seems a
similar menu item could allow for a quick selection of reference levels for

Hi,
Sorry, but to my knowledge is *still* no RE macro. I and several others have
pleaded in the past for one, to no avail. Maybe your request will tip the

Hi,
Where in Smith's article does it say that AGC with the slope set for 15 acts
as a hard limiter? There is a huge difference between AGC action (which is
simply a reduction in gain with linearity retained) and hard limiting. I
have read the article and agree that his measurements are very helpfu

Dear Elecrafters,
In the past, I asked questions about 60m band in USA. Local telecommunication
authority in Hong Kong has now allocated 5351.5-5366.5kHz to amateur radio
service on a secondary basis. The maximum EIP is 15 Watt.
Thanks for all your help in the past.

I did that on my 630m inverted-L. Obviously 43-feet vertical is very

It isn't so much that 'the strongest signal in the passband determines the gain
of the receiver', it's that once that strong signal sends the
receiver into AGC, additional signals in the passband do not increase the audio
output power when the Slope is set at or near its extreme. This is a form
