[R-390] Little Fading

[charles bolland]

Hi again,

During the day when there's nothing to do, I like to listen to the BBC.  If
the BBC is fading badly, I end up watching Judge Judy - ugh! spit, spit.
Anyway, sometimes I listen with my NRD545 and others with my R-390A.  I've
noticed that with the same antenna, the R-390A holds the signal better.
Since the signal I am listening to is on 17 MHz, it has deep fades on the
NRD545, but the R-390A holds the signal almost at  a steady level.  I guess
it's the AGC, but you'd think the NRD545'S AGC would be just as good?   Any
comments why the difference would be appreciated.

Both receivers seem to have equal sensitivity.  I mean, I hear the weak ones
on both equally.
