From: Jeff Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 Time: 06:38:49 The functional similarity between Max AGC Gain and the familiar RF Gain control raises an interesting question - is it better give a control a name that accurately represents what it does in the code (such as Max AGC

Jeff, From my perspective, the SDR1K has, essentially, two gain controls. Conceptually, from the point of view of signal flow, I picture these two gains as pre-agc gain and post-agc gain. That is, the gain applied to a signal *before* it's attenuated by AGC, and the gain applied to a signal

Jim, You are only going to get maximum AGC performance in critical listening situations by having ready access to and understanding, technically, how to adjust all the DSP engines AGC parameters. It is that simple. I wish that you could, in fact, put a simple control on the front panel, call it

[Eric] No. The RF control sets the Max AGC gain. This is not the same as setting the RX gain for VAC which sets a constant gain in order to normalize the audio comfortably while still providing appropriate gain to the third party software. If the RF control works for you, that's great.

Jeff, not to worry. We received enough mail that it will stay on the front panel. keep the RF Gain control (call it what you like: Max AGC Gain or whatever might be more intuitively appropriate) on the front panel. I use it all the time I never said to take it off the panel. I said
