K3 AGC strange behavior

Klaus Koppendorfer
just saw, that when you switch off AGC, the S-meter and receiver Gain will stay at the level where it was at the moment when you switch off agc - for example noise at S4,  switch off AGC  - S-meter will still show S4 and gain is also reduced, switching off antenna before AGC off and antenna on again will show S0 and full receiver gain...

using latest firmware

This sounds like something for a CC to <[hidden email]>,  
which, afaik, is where Elecraft would like to receive bug reports.

Thanks for heads up,
