Yes. AGC is on when the button is OUT. The legend is on the RH end of the
row of buttons.

Hi - just a follow up - I appreciate the advice and wanted to just ask on
Walt's advice versus Carter's. Walt indicated to make sure the AGC
on/off button is in the OUT position (meaning it's off - with the
inference that it's best to not use the AGC on the rig). Then Carter,
you said follow Walt's advice and make sure the AVC is on. Possibly a
dumb question here but is AGC the same thing as the AVC? Is the
recommendation from you both to just leave the AGC button in the out (or
off) position?
Thanks guys.
You will be happier with the AGC/AVC ON than off. Your complaint about
distortion with the RF gain all the way up is a classic symptom of
faulty AGC or AGC turned off. I gather that the button out is AGC ON,
but I've not become that closely acquainted with the OMNI VI since it
has other habits I don't appreciate.
