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.
It sounds to me of the classic symptom of either a broken AVC, or as
Walt said, the AVC being turned off. As you are new to the rig, the
latter is the most likely. Please follow Walt's instructions for making
sure the AVC is ON (*two* switches: off/on and fast/slow) and report
back to us.
