Good catch, Scott.

Indeed, I did not have the ATT engaged on the Sub receiver!  However,
even though it makes less noisy on the low bands, the audio levels still
vary by about 6 dB when both are switched into a dummy load.

It seems as though when playing with AGC THR that the lowest value of
002 results in the levels being closer with live signals off the air.
As that value is raised the Sub receiver (right channel in Audacity)
raises level considerably faster.
