I'm listening to the WAE contest this morning on 20 meters, and with the AGC
setting tweaks it sounds much better than yesterday. Maybe it was just
conditions at the time. With the slight bit of hang time added, it sounds
much more like my old Collins KWM-380 that had a very sophisticated
dual-loop AGC system.
I'll do some more listening...
