Sounds like a theory. Have you really tried turning it off? What I see is the strongest possible AGC action with the threshold at/below noise level and 1000 dB/s. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN ___________
This good article doesn't help, neither analog nor digital AGC cannot be turned off at all. AGC OFF forces the following parameter values: hang = 0 decay = 1000 dB/s threshold = 0.37 uV Far from bei
but certainly cannot not be described as AGC OFF. You are 100% correct. I had never looked at the actual values since I never turn my AGC off but now I see what you mean. Perhaps they are attempting
