[Elecraft] AGC Information Please - for the Non-Engineer

[nz0t]

I always have been of the opinion that things I don't understand (like AGC)
are "magic".  Makes it easier to live with my limited math skills.  Just
like Lee my BS in Psychology and MBA are no help when it comes to electronic
theory.  I am still amazed that I was able to complete my K2/100 and that it
continues to work well.  I greatly appreciate the support and patience of
those here who answer the dumb questions we non-engineer types ask!
