Default AGC Questions


"Lenny" wrote in message
...
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



One other thing comes to mind: when listening to AM DX, turn off your AGC.
You may want to set AF gain (Volume) up quite high, after first turning down
RF Gain. Control the "volume" by the RG gain (instead of the usual AF gain.)
