Hello All, I am not really a purist and use I what gets me by..I am on a  
small lot 100ftx100ft. I use a Mark V with no filters at all into an inverted V 
 
with the apex at 55 ft, scary huh? Well anyway, not being an electrical  
engineer, I notice the recovery time I guess you would call it in simplex pile  
ups 
after I call, and begin to receive..it seems like the receiver is deaf for a  
fraction of a second and do not hear the station coming back to me, than the  
second request I hear perfectly. Is this because of the AGC function Tom has  
just mentioned? Any radio settings to avoid this? I have noticed this on all  
bands, someone even made a comment about me calling DX on 40 but not hearing  
them which was not true, I did work DX0JP Spratly on 40 CW.  Anyway, what  is 
true is this problem I just mentioned, am I crazy? Just my radio this happens 
 to? Not sure what to make of it, but it still doesn't keep me from really  
working anyone, just slows things down a bit I guess, and would like to know 
any  fixes or settings.
