Agree with Don't comments. If signals are blowing your ears off, you need one of the following:
lower AF Gain lower AGC Threshold higher AGC Slope (higher SLP value is actually flatter curve which technically is a lower slope) I encourage everyone to learn and understand how to set up their manual/auto gain settings, and not just willy nilly copy other people's settings. 73, Barry N1EU On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > Donald, > > The AGC settings, particularly the slope and the threshold are best set to > your individual preferences.
