RE: [Elecraft] General testing for key clicks: AGC

Thanks, guys. It seems my problem was one of absent mindedness. I had left the noise blanker on in my 930. The result was that I was hearing K2 key clicks that weren't actually there. Once I disabled the noise blanker, things sounded great. As you two noted, the AGC was not affecting the testing.

Michael N9BDF asked: Should the receiver's AGC be disabled when testing a transmitter for key clicks -- does it matter? Does it make the transmitter "sound" worse or better? Yes, AGC can make the clicks worse, but the BIG issue is to avoid putting too much sign
