Topband: ADC Overload

[W5JR Mike]

That's exactly how I set mine up. Lower the AGC-T to where the band noise and weak/moderately weak signals aren't hitting the threshold. So maybe S4-5+ signals do hit the threshold. I'm able to still hear the "at noise floor" signals without pain in the ears from strong signals. They're loud, but manageable. 

tnx
