[Amps] QSK or not

[Joe Isabella]

I use both the RF Gain and a slower AGC on the receiver.  There is virtually NO noise between elements that way.  Same with SSB -- it's better than squelch.  I use a lot of attenuation, RF Gain, and a medium AGC.  There's almost no noise when nobody is talking.

That's a significant factor on the low bands. On 160M-40M, I generally run 
the RF gain back to about S8 or S9 and this makes QSK much more enjoyable 
for me.
