You mentioned, 

"It also mentions a AGC upgrade Please make it easier for the none tech ham
to figure out and use. I was just given a Kenwood 940 yesterday to be used
at another location and I made more contacts with it than my OII?  I can't
figure out how to use the damn High cut /low cut or the AGC for best rx of a
particular signal with the OII."

Maybe a future upgrade could make use of the display area used by the
spectrum display and "waterfall" to display the audio spectrum real time to
show the result of the high cut / Low cut [0 to 3Khz+ display] and even the
AGC signal levels.

I guess we will see the improvements next month.

Hi All , I have just seen the product status page update witch says there
will be a major update in Sept/ Oct.for the OII  Great !It also mentions a
AGC upgrade Please make it easier for the none tech ham to figure out and
use. I was just given a Kenwood 940 yesterday to be used at another location
and I made more contacts with it than my OII ?  I can't figure out how to
use the damn High cut /low cut or the AGC for best rx of a particular signal
with the OII .  
    There was also mentioned a waterfall display to be added to the OII
Great !  can anyone tell me where to look to learn how to interpret a
waterfall display ?  I Couldn't be happier with the announcement of upgrades
and I would like to see if TT could make the radio a little simpler to use
and understand When I stumble upon the right tuning of the knobs the radio
sounds sweet and can't be beat !  but it takes me so long to get there !  I
am not complaining just asking for a little help understanding the use of my
race car of a transceiver .  thanks for reading John Molenda kb2huk  
I have my Ten Tec OII for over a Year .
