[Elecraft] OT: Orion AGC OFF (was "learn by doing")

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Someone (I really am not going to search through to see "who") said
that when the Orion AGC was in the "off"position, that it kept the
same "volume" or something like that.

This struck a chord with me...I thought that I remembered that AGC
"OFF" in the Orion was not really AGC off.  Sure enough!  See these
two posts from 2004 (one by K3 owner and enthusiast, contester
extraordinaire, and Novice DXCC #1 owner [I think], W4ZV).

When the AGC is really off, be prepared for high output audio blasts
(except maybe with the new Elecraft limit function).
