[TenTec] Omni VI - AGC and RF Gain Question

[Bruce Warner]

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.
