-----Original Message----- From: Mike Scott AGC THR=2 causes the AGC to engage sooner, in effect this sounds to the ear like turning down the RF gain reducing background noise. Reduced RF gain always helps when the signal is strong enough. --------------------------
Actually, I think it is the opposite. A lower threshold engages the AGC sooner, which tends to make signals and background noise the same volume, thus reducing S/N ratio. Instead, run the threshold higher so that you can preserve some of the dynamic range between signals and band noise. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
