I use AGC THR=8, SLP=002 + AGC DCY SOFT. This sound OK with my modest pileups ;) Another issue is if you get someone loud to your zero beat ( or within your roofing filter passband ) then hardware AGC will go up.. Olli OH6CT > -Alkuperäinen viesti- > Lähettäjä: elecraft-boun...@mailman.

One thing to remeber is that if you get strong signal within your roofing filter passband you will notice that AGC will go up to protect DSP overloading. Then you have use for narrower roofing filters. I have 400Hz but considering to add 200Hz after working couple of CW and RTTY contest on 40 mete
