Hi,
In recent days(2/9/03), Doug Smith has posted detailed design
info about the AGC and ALC systems in the Orion. Very
interesting reading; have a look:
http://www.doug-smith.net/digitalagc.htm
I trust the Orion User's Manual will have several
sample examples of set ups for the Programmable
AGC features. I really have no idea how to establish the
AGC characteristics to be optimum for various modes/band condx:
(1) AGC attack, (2) the peak-hold or "hang" function that
retains the most recent peak for an adjustable period of time,
(3) the decay time! Quite a change from just the Fast or Slow
AGC selections we have had, hi
Anyway, more neat info to digest as we await the shipping
of our Orions!
