AGC is OFF. These IMD products plaing the same trick with WSJT-X creating spurious candidates as does it the AGC. 73, Igor UA3DJY Re: [wsjt-devel] high sensitivity of decoder vs TRX AGC handling From: Joe Taylor - 2015-11-12 01:24:21   Hi Igor and Steve, Perhaps it's worth mentioning

Hi Igor and Steve, Perhaps it's worth mentioning that our advice for all WSJT-related programs has always been to disable the receiver AGC (if possible) and turn the RF gain control well down, thereby minimizing AGC action. If you do this and follow instructions in the User Guide about setting

Hi Igor, Since this may be of interest to others, I’m copying this reply to the list. First, I’d like to echo what Joe said earlier. If you are running in JT65A mode and if your search range is the same for all cases, then you should see identical results on all platforms and operating systems
