I also notice the anomaly when AF AGC is engaged.

If the decay rate is set to less than 6 dB/s the AGC hangs for the prescribed period, but the decay rate acts as if it's essentially infinity. This results in severe audio distortion with many pops.

My O II has been on all day and I have NOT seen the anomaly described for the spectrum display. What I *did* notice is a tiny horizontal red "dash," about 1 mm long, that appeared at the same vertical level as the filter width display, roughly above the blue spectrum tuning index.

While I'm sure that this list is monitored by TT, because this is listed as a beta release, is there a conduit for bug reports like this? I don't mean feature requests, such as "Make the blue tuning index a vertical line," etc., but true buggy behavior, like odd lines appearing on the spectrum display and strange behavior by the AF AGC.

Not here Lin, behaves exactly as expected under the conditions described....
I'm happy so far :-)
