WRONG!  WRONG! WRONG!

Mistatement of reality. It depends completely on the  conditions 
under which the 1 dB change is made. 


Let's be a little more cordial, please!  
 
Something like, "..in most cases, a one dB difference is not discernable by  
the human ear, however, when that one dB is just above the noise level, it is  
indeed discernable.
 
My point was that in an environment where either noise or other  signals are 
capturing an AGC, the bigger signal, even the one dB bigger signal,  will 
prevail.  That is because a receiver AGC can react to a 1 dB  difference, even if 
the human ear may not.
 
Come on guys, let's put the "gentlemen" back in the Gentlemen's Band!
