K3S AGC action in CW
Locked
 
|
Hi,
when operating the K3S in CW mode I found there is no difference in switching between AGC-F(ast) and AGC-S(slow). It seems the "default" setting is on slow and does not go to fast (compared to the decay characteristic in SSB). The manual explains that the AGC Fast/Slow response should also be effective in CW. Can anyone confirm this behavior (or not)? Firmware version is 5.66 (actually supposed to be 5.67 with the "label" of the previous version). 73/Roger - DL5RBW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Roger,
My K3s AGC works as expected -- goodluck. 73, Roy K6XK > Hi, > > when operating the K3S in CW mode I found there is no difference in > switching between AGC-F(ast) and AGC-S(slow).

There are numerous AGC adjustments available in the CONFIG
menu. You can probably find something to suit you there. 73, Ken K3IU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On 7/19/2019 4:14 AM, Roger wrote: > Hi, > > when operating the K3S in CW mode I found there is no difference in > switching between AGC-F(ast) and AGC-S(slow).

That was the first thing I did (including reading and rereading the manual) however changing the settings didn´t affect the AGC action in CW. The AGC settings are identical in all modes (default) therefore I would expect identical behavior in all modes. And in fact it does EXCEPT for CW. No matter whether AGC is set to fast or slow in CW it stays slow. 73/Roger - DL5RBW -----Original Message----- From: Ken K3IU [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2019 12:34 PM To: Roger; [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S AGC action in CW There are numerous AGC adjustments available in the CONFIG menu.

Alright I understand............. J
By browsing the firmware archive I found a pretty old firmware version announcing an the implementation of an independent AGC system whenever “CW Decode“ is enabled. I enabled this function a while ago to see how good it is compared to human ears and brain and being lazy I let it enabled. So if you enable CW Decode the AGC will be locked to what is “slow” (with the default values). Disabling CW Decode the radio returns to the regular AGC system and works as in all other modes. Hope this helps someone else now or in the future……………….. 73, Roger, DL5RBW From: Dave Sublette [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2019 6:52 PM To: Roger Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S AGC action in CW No,no.

Roger,
you would like to say that when I will enable CW decoder the AGC system ignore all custom's settings and going to use default Slow AGC template config? Somehow I don't want to believe it... ----- 73 - Petr, OK1RP "Apple & Elecraft freak" B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com MeWe: https://bit.ly/2HGPoDx MeWe: https://bit.ly/2FmwvDt -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email]

Petr,
It does change to slow AGC, but any custom settings remain in place. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/22/2019 11:39 AM, Petr, OK1RP/M0SIS wrote: > Roger, > > you would like to say that when I will enable CW decoder the AGC system > ignore all custom's settings and going to use default Slow AGC template > config?

Hi Don,
aha, that's makes sense.
