What I get using a relatively flat AGC is automation of my riding the RF gain control. I don't see how this kind of automation affects decoder performance. It should help performance as the decoder has a nearly constant level signal to work with. Please explain.

Thanks - Bill AE6JV

Just the opposite.  Most digital signal decoders work best with the least
AGC action possible, even AGC Off.  AGC constrains decoder performance.

Now to use SLP=15 for digital, where I want the AtoD to not have to deal with a big range, while using something with more dynamic range for voice/CW.
