Hi Richard,

About I year ago the subject was discussed on the reflector as well. Just
like it does now it then caused a lot of discussion too. If I remember it
correctly Elecraft came up with a firmware release which provided more low
audio response partially because of that discussion on the reflector.
Among others, K8ZOA wrote an article about the different parameters of the
AGC which helped a lot of people to set up the AGC correctly.
It seems to me that now, a year later, that article has dropped to the
background and new users seem to struggle with a correct AGC setting.
It's certainly is not something new, people have mentioned it before and I
like to believe it's still a work in progress.

P.s. This is the article I reffered to:
