AGC Fast and AGS Slow can be toggled by a TAP of the AGC button on the 
front panel.  HOLD that button and you get AGC OFF (or ON if it was 
already OFF).

In the menu, you can set the following parameters for AGC:

Attack time, Hold (Hang) time, Decay rate (in dB/sec for Fast and Slow), 
Threshold, and Slope.  Slope sets the compression you get from AGC, 
whether you like everything above the threshold to be flat (S4 and 40 
over S9 are the same level) or some sort of slope (2:1, 10:1 whatever) 
so stronger signals are somewhat louder.
