Hi Vic

Thanks so much for clearing that up for me, i suppose what should have 
done is fit my other 585 Paragon in for comparison.

thanks once again

Greetings, Snowy. What you describe is exactly the way it is supposed to
work. The S-Meter is actually reading the AGC voltage which is 
proportional
to the strength of the signal. If you have AGC off, then the S-meter 
reads
zero. Likewise, when AGC is on it is reducing the volume of signals for
anything more than S-0, so basically for all signals, reducing more for 
the
stronger signals. If you think weak signals are being lost by that
attenuation, you can turn off the AGC, which is why the switch is there.

Hi All

some words of advice from you good gents please.

My Paragon 585 seems! to have a problem, no 'S' meter movement during 
RX,
however if i switch on the AGC i get meter movement BUT at a reduced 
volume,
that doesn't seem right to me, however i hope to be guided by you 
learned
gents out there.
