How 'bout calling it "AGC Threshold" instead? To me, this implies I have some control over the point where AGC cuts in. A big incoming signal requires a lower threshold, so I turn the control down, just like an RF Gain control. And, as I understand it, the name "AGC Threshold" would relate exactly what the software actually does. 73 Ian, G3NRW _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
