Al, The dynamic balance between the base and emitter of Q12 determine the AGC Fast/Slow response. The dynamic characteristics of Q12 as well as R2, C4, RP6 and C1 all come into play. Remember when doing the analysis that the voltage at /SLOW AGC is at 5 volts for fast AGC. When you consider

I'm looking at the K2 schematic at the components on the Control Board that set the AGC time constant, and I can't understand how the fast setting gets its time constant... the parts involved, C4 and R2, appear to have a very long time, much longer than necessary for the FST settting. If you
