You cannot turn the Orion II AGC off. I found this little tidbit of information while trying to peak a noise generator on the Orion II here. If you watch the ac voltage on the phone jack or speaker you will see that it never changes with the AGC OFF. You will also notice that on an Orion II, when you set the AGC to OFF the S-Meter still deflects with the signal, indicating that in fact, the AGC is NOT turned off, it has merely been set to a decay rate of 1000 db per second. Otherwise it functions as when in the other positions. >>and reduce rf-gain - then we found >>a setting where orion sounds near k3 (by the way K2 sounds very fine under >>these conds) >> >>!!! these was seen only on 80meter evening with heavy European qrm !!!
