[ARC5] OT? bc-348 bfo question

[mac]

But, that's exactly what happens when the receiver (BC-348) is  
switched to the MVC mode.  The audio half of the dual Volume control  
is bypassed, the audio output stage runs wide open and only the RF  
gain potentiometer remains in play.  Opposite situation in AVC, RF  
gain locked at max and the audio pot comes controls the output level.   
Same in other receivers of the era like the BC-312 and BC-342.
