Chuck,

If you look at the chart of CONFIG menu listings, all menu items that 
have [SUB] indicated are separate settings for the main and the subRX.

There is no such indicator for the AGC parameters, indicating that those 
menu entries apply to both the main and the subRX.

The AGC parameters *are* Tech mode entries, so you have to set TECH MD 
to on before you can see them.

73,
