[Elecraft] firmware 4.18 and AGC

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

AGC slow acting weird.

Situation:
Listening in the Ukrainian contest in cw this evening. Noise level is 
about s5. Listening to a running station that is s9+20, cw speed about 
35wpm. AGC is on slow and rf-gain in fully clockwise.

After a silence in signal (meter on s5) when te station starts to 
transmit, the agc is working but without any hold time, so sounds like 
agc-fast with very fast decay. After the first few dits and dahs ("TU") 
the agc holds and works like it should on agc-slow.
I have heard that before but not as frequent.
I think this is a bug.

mode : cw
band: 40m
firmware: 4.18
