Caution: A caution about evaluation of the effects of the change - please listen to the noise level that appears during breaks while listening to a signal. If you listen to only the noise level with no signals present, you will find that the noise level decreases as you lower the threshold setting. This is a false perception. What is actually happening is that you are reducing the level where the AGC response begins, and since the noise is now producing AGC action, the noise will reduce the gain of the receiver, giving the appearance that the noise level is being reduced, when in fact, just the opposite will happen when listening in the presence of signals on the band.
