Default AGC Questions

Could some kind soul please explain the whole AGC thing to me ?
And keep it simple please.
What does it do?
When should I use AGC Fast?
When should I use AGC Normal?
If I turn off AGC, and manually adjust the RF Gain, what am I doing, and why
am I doing it?
Anything else I should know?
FYI, I have an Icom R75 with all the Kiwa mods, and an Antenna Supermarket
Eavesdropper dipole.
Thanks,
Lenny


Use FAST when bandscanning, SLOW after you stop on a station.

OFF when backing off on the RF gain (good for quiet SSB; works better
than Squelch). You may need to use more AF Gain.
