There is no difference between an RF gain control and AGC. AGC is just Auotmatic Gain control instead of manual gain control. The only way to copy a weak signal adjacent to a strong one is to prevent the strong signal from affecting the AGC, and the only way to do that is by using a narrrow

Frank, 500 Hz is already a nice improvement with respect to 2.5 kHz.. While on the subject of filters, my current setup allows me to narrow my SSB signal down to 500 Hz. Maxed out, the pass band is about 2.7 kHz, (3.6 on CW Wide.) I have no optional filters installed, so I've been thinking
