> weak signal (below S7) are less compressed by AGC then the strong one. > (4dB:1dB below S7 and 25dB:1dB above S7). What I find better is 10dB signal = 10dB audio change at noise floor becoming 10dB=1dB or less audio change at some higher level. It gets rid of the "mush" or blend of signals and noise when the noise is somewhat even but rough. 73 Tom
