I've noticed the same issue Jim. If you move the AGC to FAST it comes back repeatable.

I've also noticed that if I move the AGC-T control down the gain decreases as expected, but raising it back up doesn't bring the gain back up until I change modes off AM and back again. If I remember correctly this isn't 100% repeatable, but unfortunately I haven't as yet identified the exact sequence of events that causes it to occur. 73, Jim, N7CXI Jordan wrote: > Yes, I agree... there is a serious problem with AGC overshoot and > hanging in the AM Mode...I also hope this is being addressed, as it > does make Weak signal AM broadcast listening difficult...It also > appears to have the same issue with SAM mode reception if I > recall....All it takes is some static to overwhelm the AGC in SLOW, > and it can take up to 20 seconds for the gain to recover, unless you > change modes which seems to reset the AGC.
