My list of displayed parameters was just a first proposal. If AGC params can't be displayed because of the command set implementation, then we can shorten the list I suppose.
As far as why I'd want to display AGC hold, DCY, SLP and THR - these are dynamic settings that I want to change depending on my operation (S&P vs running, etc) and on condx. I'm sure many operators would want the ability to display these without digging into the menu. It seems like programming could easily accomplish this with a nifty onscreen display taking up perhaps 5-10% of the monitor's screen. And it could be configurable so you'd display just the set of parameters YOU want to see; i.e., leave off AGC if you don't want to see it. 73, Barry N1EU proposed: shift (numeric) width (numeric) power compression mic gain sub preamp sub antenna selection sub shift sub width AF Limit AGC hold AGC DCY AGC SLP AGC THR Dick Dievendorff wrote: > > Barry asked for the ability to display AGC parameters.
