Actually, Sinisa, I was referring to your FB writeup on the Orion where
you recommend backing off on the RF gain until the S-meter drops back
about 12 dB(?) or so. It was your first step in optimizing the receive
performance of the Orion, if I remember correctly. I agree with the RF
gain technique on older technology rigs. In fact, I was taught to do
this as a novice back in 1956!

Also, despite Sinisa's recommendations to the contrary, I have been
running my RF gain wide open and varying the AGC threshold setting
(relatively easy with N4PY's software) to maintain band noise and QRN at
an acceptable level.
If this applies to Orion - I'd do the same.
Suggestion of reducing RF GAIN applies to TS850, MP
and similar rigs.
