<< Happy New Year Everyone,


This Christmas vacation was a good one for my R-390A and me.  I finally got

the rig back together after recapping, cleaning and fixing a PTO problem.

It is working very well now.  I have a question about the normal operation

of the AGC switch.  In this radio, if I start at the slow AGC  position and

switch to the medium position, the radio is muted for about two seconds and

then slowly comes back to the proper level.  Switching between the slow and

fast positions does not exhibit this muting.  Is the muting normal in

switching between slow and medium?


Best regards,
