[TenTec] Orion II Questions

[Carl Moreschi]

Why wouldn't just setting AGC to medium or slow solve all the problems 
you are trying to fix.  That way you never get blasted, you don't have 
to find a very strong signal to set audio gain, you never get AGC 
compression on speech, and you don't get band noise between words.
