Hi!
I also bought an Omni VI through the list not too long ago. I've
been operating CW almost exclusively. The ham I bought the rig from
mentioned that he usually backed off on the RF gain a little. I've
discovered that I do the same thing. The noise level seems much
worse with the RF gain all the way up.
I hadn't really noticed the distortion you mentioned, but that may
just be that the signal sounded noisy to me, and that goes away when
I back off on the gain.

Hi - I purchased an Omni VI through this list recently, and just
have a general question. When I have the RF gain fully clockwise
then engage the AGC either in slow or fast, it distorts the speaker,
but when I pull back on the RF gain a few notches (say to the 3
o'clock position) then the AGC no longer distorts and it picks up
the signal while reducing the background noise. I don't have a copy
of the manual, so is this the normal setting to back off the RF gain
when using the AGC (or do I have a problem with my rig)? Thanks.
