Re: >...the only way I get the quiet background I desire is to turn the AGC off..
and >I had resigned myself to living with the AGC off because I can't stand >the sound of the audio with it on in CW mode >(I've come close to selling it because of that many times), AHA!!! Whenever I've posted a comment saying that my rx was noisy, it's generated a flurry of responses saying that I'm crazy, and don't know what I'm talking about or listening to. I'll never sell ol' #1823, but I did put her on the back shelf for a while until I added the DSPUPG board, and I'm giving her another critical listen. Considering this and my never-loud-enough speaker amp, I must come to the conclusion that NOT ALL THESE RADIOS ARE THE SAME! Tnx John, and George - I feel your pain (to quote an ex-president).
