So, please help me understand.....
Other than fixing the sweep "picture", what did this upgrade provide over
39d? I personally had no issues with 39d, and felt the NR was excellent.
My only "real" request would be that the AGC circuit go back within the DSP
loop as it was in 1.372.
Thanks folks..........
