Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] Re Elecraft] Crackling in Headphones

Now I am very glad I did not upgrade my K3 to the new synth. Seems there are some teething pains. I would have to cry real tears if I broke the best rig I have ever had. Angel on my shoulder? Bill W2BLC K-Line __ Elecraft mailing list

We have not seen any problem with the synth like this, and we are not experiencing it on our current K3S's or upgraded synth K3 radios, or on our personal K3s and K3S's, those in the lab here or those in for repair. My suspicion is that there is an intermittent elsewhere in the radio of the

Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] Re Elecraft] Crackling in Headphones

The majority of the time, the DX station is not far off the noise floor. If they are, then the RF gain becomes useful, otherwise I leave it alone. I recently tried turning the AGC off in DATA A mode. If you're trying to capture the entire audio bandwidth, it helps, a lot. A strong signal

For those with 'Crackling in Headphones', I have to ask if you are running with AGC off? If so, the limiter can be kicking in and cause such crackling. Better than running with AGC off, just leave the AGC on and if you reduce the RF gain to counter strong signals, the AGC action will be

Where did you get that idea? I have 250 entities worked on RTTY/PSK, all with a K3 (now K3S) and I've never once turned the AGC off, for that or any other mode. I never fuss with the "RF" gain control either. On 12/1/2015 7:33 AM, Peter Pauly wrote: What about digital modes? I thought they

Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] Re Elecraft] Crackling in Headphones

Peter, I run digital modes with AGC on, I can't speak for anyone else. The AGC in the K3 can be customized (see my website www.w3fpr.com). "supposed to work better with AGC off" sounds like a generalized statement. If there is an extra strong signal in the passband of the receiver, having
