[1000mp] Fast AGC action

[Barry N1EU]

I've owned two MP's and have seen the same strange behavior of the fast AGC 
on both units.  What puzzles me is that I've never heard any other MP owner 
ever voice a similar observation, yet it's been glaringly obvious to me - 
especially in contest situations.

I'd appreciate hearing from any other MP owners who have also noticed (at 
least occasionally) unusually slow release of the fast AGC, especially 
noticed in recovery from strong signal bursts or in recovery from your own 
qsk xmsn.  Slow AGC releases quicker than the fast AGC in these cases.

Another sign I notice which I feel may be related, is if I repeatedly flip 
between bands while watching the S meter, after a band change the S meter 
often pegs and slowly releases if the AGC is set "fast".  Repeating the 
experiment with "slow" AGC, shows the S meter almost perfectly constant with 
band changes and never shows this "pegging" behavior.

Again, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who also notices similar behavior 
of the fast AGC in their MP's or tries the band flipping test and notices 
the same thing.

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU
