>(but I know it is since the notch affects AGC).
Well you hit the nail on the head with that last comment. TenTec was able to
obtain good selectivity at a low cost by using audio filters and having the
agc taken off after the audio filter. My Omni-C is of course this way but
for some strange reason it's agc is quite smooth and doesn't have that usual
thump when a strong signal hits it. Interestingly, the schematic of the
IF/AF board doesn't even come close to what's really there! They must have
gone through several mods during production.
With the Corsair series I belive they should have taken the agc from ahead
of the af amp due to the excellent xtal filters available. Anyway, this
didn't happen until the Paragon/Omni-V series.
