4.21 APF impressions

[Howard..K2HK]

Been playing with the new 4.21 release for a few hours. My impressions of the APC  is it is an excellent addition to the CW op's tools. Smoothly boosts the weak signal out of the noise. Thanks to both Elecraft and the reflector members who pushed for this refinement. Although we might get tired of seeing similar posts urging a wanted addition it sure is beneficial when the results are like this one.

The only change I note on SSB is that I can turn my gain down to 5~6 with a Yamaha CM500(?) It was previously at ~19. One other note I can't hear any difference if I am using High or Low bias. Checked with monitor and DVR.

73,

Has it now been released, Howard?  I've just been trawling all the FTP
folders without success.  Please advise.

  Howard,

One correction - the High or Low do not apply to the bias.
The thing that High and Low refer to is the range for the mic level.
You should see a change in the audio (ALC) level when switching between
High and Low, but since your mic level is now set to a low value, there
may only be a slight difference.
