Well, I don't have any signals here, but with S-6 noise level I find
the maximum threshold (=8) is very aggressive. I would have thought
the threshold would have a greater range than this; i.e., the maximum
value not cutting  in as low as s-6 or lower. (But I don't know what
it was with the previous MCU version.)

Is there a graph available relating AGC threshold values (onset of AGC
action) to s-meter readings? Just curious. But really, I guess there
isn't much point in fooling with it until there are a few signals on
the bands.
