The AGC threshold was lowered a bit.  If you have the AGC Threshold 
(CONFIG: AGC THR) set very low, then perhaps the AGC is reducing the 
gain. You can check by turning AGC off. Try increasing AGC THR a bit.

What I do -- and this is a personal preference -- is set the threshold 
high enough that there is no AGC action on noise or weakish signals.
