Rob Sherwood has an SDR-1000. He has not hooked it up for testing the last time he was asked (two day before Dayton). Given Rob's Sherwood's talk at Dayton, I was asked at the Flex forum to describe the AGC. Based on my description of our AGC, some tests were run by independent people but

All, I talked with Rob myself prior to Dayton. A common problem with AGCs is that the AGC control voltage is developed after the IF filtering. This limits the AGC response time (on attack, is the issue) due to the narrow IF bandwidth. When a large RF pulse comes in, its envelope can rise
