The 1.372 gain control certainly exposed agc threshold control more conveniently, but I found myself wishing I had the truly *independent* rf/if gain found in previous versions. When running the new-

Your're right, 3rd party control software would still be able to do it, but that thought hadn't crossed my mind. Maybe a good reason to experiment with PC control software. Thanks, RC NW8L N4PY's sof
I honestly don't think anything is gained by twiddling the AGC Threshold independently from the front panel RF Gain control. Have at it, but I fear the perception that there's something to gain (no p
Just curious - as I wait for my Orion - Is S meter circuitry separately handled - ie: When you don't ru RF gain full- is the S meter functional -- Not a huge deal for me as I have used a sweet spot o
<I honestly don't think anything is gained by twiddling the AGC Threshold independently......Just set the threshold low (<1uV) for all AGC speeds and leave it there.> So what's the use of the AGC con
It was the original implementation of the firmware, before the RF Gain control was reprogrammed to add control of AGC Threshold. The only thing you can't control with the RF Gain knob is the minimum
Barry, So you're telling me that the best possible dynamic range and/or MDS performance for all band conditions and all filter combinations and all antenna combinations is with the gain of the DSP es
It's based on experience. Not sure what relationship you assume between a low value of the AGC Threshold menu setting and "DSP essentially turned to max". It's been stated several times that the AGC
No need to get defensive. As I understand it the "AGC threshold" value actually sets the control range of the DSP's gain. This I would presume have an effect on the DSP's dynamic range under various
In a related matter - I note that I sometimes see a little white vertical bar to the top left of the box that displays the RF Gain setting. Bug? Indicator? BTW - I do like the way the RF gain works.
That little artifact (or whatever) in the RF gain box has been reported to TT already. Toby W4CAK -- Original Message -- From: <K4IA@aol.com> To: <tentec@contesting.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2
