[TenTec] Corsair II AGC circuit

[Steve Hunt]

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

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. ;-)
