I notice up to a +10dB pop on the leading edge of cw elements with my
Omni 6+. Please see a recorded waveform at

and the accompanying 20sec recording is at
http://n1eu.com/omni6agc.wav
It's clear that when there's been no signal for a second or so, the
big 10dB pop is much more likely. Otherwise there's a "little" pop of
3-5dB. I'm not seeing much in the archives but has anyone tried to
tame the "pop" via AGC time constants etc? Can anyone contribute a
little technical analysis?
I see little difference in the popping with fast vs slow AGC.
Thanks & 73,
