Look at page 50 in the manual (Config Menu) and in the ENTRY column find AGC SLP (AGC Slope) and adjust it to a higher value than 10. This setting adjusts how much louder you want strong signals to be over weak signals. In my experience a setting of around 12 is what I prefer. I like for signal to sound loader if they are stronger, but as you say, the default can make your hair stand up on a 30 over 9 signal ;O) Tom, N5GE - SWOT 3537 - Grid EM12jq "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" An excerpt from a letter written in 1755 from the Assembly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
