K3 AGC turning off.

[Bill W]

I have seen this topic posted but I guess I missed the corrective measure(s). My K3 has the latest update and the AGC still just turns off for no reason, even when it is just sitting there in receive mode. Yes we are using HRD and the version we have is 5.11 build 3209.
Any additional feedback would be a appreciated.

Bill,

When it comes out in the next couple of days, download the 5.2x version of
HRD.  It should resolve this issue.  If not, the new owners of HRD plan to
have it corrected in v6.0, which comes out the week of Dayton.

If you install Lpbridge which is a port sharing utility which sits between
the K3 and up to 5 applications wanting to communicate with the radio, then
the problem will disappear!  It looks daunting to set up, but in reality
it's easy.  Problem solved!

The latest version of the K3 firmware (4.48) has eased that problem for me and HRD. The problem has been on the todo list for HRD for a long time, hopefully they will fix it before they switch to charging for HRD.
