I agree - and that's why I've tried to replicate it on my OmniVI:

The AGC is the "magic" of Corsair II. Having experimented in the circuit I can
say the parts selection seems to represent a precarious balance. There must have been
some trial and error in the development. It really makes me wonder who figured it out and
how much time they had to spend on it. It is weird but in a genuis kind of a way, I
think. The previous audio AGC Ten Tec transceivers like OMNI C suffered from some loud
gunshot upon occasion, would put me under the desk when it went off. Corsair II does not
suffer this. My ideal AGC is *none* all the way up to S9 then just enough attenuation
after that to keep out of overload. Corsair II fits the bill. ;-)
