Let's Compare AGC Settings

Postby AB5N » Mon Nov 02, 2020 4:29 pm

Greetings folks-

I have not been able to get the Slow AGC set the way I like it. It is OK....but I'm unable to get a nice linear slow release.
I wonder if someone out there has found what they think is ideal? Lets hear from some folks on what settings they like.
Thanks- Bob - AB5N

Since I operate mostly cw can't really help with the slow AGC settings but would like to hear what folks have used for custom settings.

Here is what I have set:
slope 1
decay 20
hang 10
fixed (doesn't matter but 13)
hang threshold 4th mark from left but I vary this on the panadapter

My goal is to have a group of settings optimized for weak signal work which I do on 160 and 80. I have receive antennas so band noise is quite low with those (-140 or more).

Thanks
