Don,
It was my decision to remove them, for the reasons given below. It's
trivial to add them back in, but debatable as to whether it's a good
idea. I'm open to discussion. P

There are various possibilities for the user interface, David; this is
one of them.

Hi Wayne,
As -always- thanks so much for listening.
This is not a trivial issue for me, it's the "glue"
that brings all the other aspects of the transceiver
into line.
Here's the list in priority order, what I'm looking
for in a flexible AGC:

Wayne,
I read your reply to this thread with great consideration.
I think your observation that most field testers did not
adjust the AGC parameters is a good one.
However, I think that that K3--and the Elecraft product line
in general--particularly appeals to people who value amateur
experiment

We knew we'd get a lot of new feedback on firmware issues once we
released the manual.
After a huge amount of private e-mail and discussion today over the AGC
issue, I've concluded that some of the AGC controls should go back in.
They might not be available the instant you get your K3, however

I can understand where Wayne is coming from- bad eHam reviews are sure
to follow if people who don't know how to use these controls are given
access to them.

Can the values of all these parameters be uploaded and downloaded from
the control port? If so, someone (I wish I could) needs to write a
program to do those functions and display them all with the
differences from defaults marked.

It looks to me as if something like a "system restore" function would
be handy, so you could set things back to the last state you had if
you decide you have completely messed things up by tweaking.
The other suggestion I was going to make was that couldn't some of the
more esoteric settings be ad
Maybe some parts of user settings (like discussed AGC "deep params")
should be "password protected".
For obtaining a password special written disclaimer "not to comply
later" will be needed :-)

experienced users
I Don't know about the orion but i certainly can hear the problem Rob
talks of on my Icom 7800.
Basically the problem is due to very short (but quite large) pulses
causing excessive AGC action.

I bet it could make a mess of things to make all the settings easy
to adjust.
I just wonder if the settings are good for AM reception, where you
want a slow agc so you don't knock the bass out, and by bass I mean
10 to 50 Hz type stuff.
On most 'ham' gear, you don't want that as it would just ad
Since the K3 AM roofing filter is 6KHz, I guess it won't be so hi-fi.
It isn't tubes vs transistors, so much as IF coils vs crystal filters.
Brings back memories of when I was a kid, when I used to listen to AM
radio using a home made crystal set with an OA91 diode, tuned by a
permeability tuned c

The problem with scrolling through the menus is that you have to know
to look at that parameter. If something gets changed, and you were
unaware of it (it happens), being able to see at a glance which
parameters were not at the defaults would be most useful.
In particular, I'm thinking of the K2
