Re: [Elecraft] Using both AGC and RF gain?

I do the same thing although I've slowed the FAST AGC decay. I'm still looking for the optimum Threshold setting and have taken to adjusting it for whatever band condx I find. I run the SLP pretty high and flat. The receiver seems so "hot," or my antenna so susceptible to QRN, that I seldom u

RE: [Elecraft] Using both AGC and RF gain?

I'd have to say my modes of operation is very similar to yours. I turn the RF Gain down to help with the noise but then also use the AGC to protect the ears. Lately I've been going with a somewhat high AGC threshold with a pretty flat top to it. So I minimize its action but when it gets hit thin
