NO RF GAIN CONTROL -- HERESY

I always operate CW this way --- always have since my first S-85 receiver.
I fully agree that it improves CW readability. On SSB, I sometimes turn
the
RF down (on my Omni 6+) until the meter reads zero on the background
noise.
This seems to help a little, but not to the extent it does for CW.

The absence of a full-time RF gain control has caused me to delay ordering
an Orion; I am still thinking about it.
