Lee,

I do not turn off the AGC, but instead use the filters to isolate the signal of interest with the Width and Shift controls in the event that a strong signal is monopolizing the waterfall.

Yes, you can do it your way, but I believe my way will allow you to copy weaker signals easily. You will not see the full waterfall bandwidth with the filters narrowed, but then you are only interested in working one signal at a time. When you have finished the QSO, it is a simple matter to broaden the width and once again view the entire "battlefield".

Hi guys....

  Old topic from a Old Newbie.  I have been fooling around with PSK 31 and I
have it set up and working but I do have a question.  Do most ops using
this mode turn off the AGC and then ride the RF gain control because of the
stronger signals in the band pass killing off the weaker signals?

Is that how it is done....or am I missing something
