I have no option to turn off AGC with the FT-736R. I had been running
on the Medium setting (my default) and have switched to Slow now. I'm
not sure to say because it's rather subjective just watching, but I
think it has slightly improved capture especially at AOS and LOS as well
as when I have de-sensing due to my other VHF stations so rudely
beaconing their APRS and WL2K info without regard to the science going
on! ;-)

Hi Mark, Phil,
That's interesting. I have collected all my passes on the TS2000 with the
AGC on and set to the longest setting. This is mainly because I often
record the signal level every 0.5 seconds during a pass which requires the
AGC to be on and the longest setting irons out any short fades. I will turn
the AGC off and look at the statistics over a few passes but given that with
the AGC on I get almost all the available frames I don't expect to see much
difference. It will be interesting to see.
