[K3] AGC

[srife]

    I've noticed on strong signals that the audio gets really loud and I
have to reach for the volume control. Isn't the AGC supposed to keep
that from happening? Has anyone else noticed this?

The AGC SLP parameter in the CONFIG menu allows you to adjust the AGC
out vs input ratio.

      Thanks, I appreciate the help. I guess I have not gone through the
manual enough times to find this. Didn't know it was adjustable.

I like this feature very much (Thanks, you guys) but I did flatten it a bit from
the default of 10 to 12.

My Orion II has a similar adjustment, but I can't tell that it does anything.

No worries, Stan.  The K3 is very configurable.

Enjoy,

Stan,
it is very useful to "program" AGC slope settings to PF1 or PF2 key to
have instant access from panel by one key to this setting.
(I have AGC slope assigned to PF1 and TECH mode ON to PF2)

Ordered 24th December, delivered here in the UK 27th May at about 10.30 this
morning.

I haven't put the 100W PA in yet but everything else is done and working, so
far as I can tell.  I'm very very impressed by the receiver and the ssb tx
audio (MH2 mic) sounds extremely nice.
