Hi Sam, I often thought about this as well.
Since the noisefloor is generally much higher on the lower bands, it would be nice if AGC threshold or RX IF gain could be scaled in relation to bandnoise levels. To do this you would need to use a table with a few setting points across HF and have gain or threshold interpolate between these points. This would compensate AGC threshold or IF gain across the full range of the receiver in relation to bandnoise levels. (It would be nice if this were another industry-first from Elecraft :-) BTW, an old trick I often used for receive-only is a rather small capacitor in series with the RX antenna input, this gives a general decrease of gain towards the lower bands, compensating the higher bandnoise levels. 73' Paul PD0PSB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-feature-request-query-tp5186033p5186201.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
