[Yaesu] FT1000D AGC -off behaviour

Sun, 24 Nov 2002 18:39:41 -0500

(Geez, I wish this reflector sent everyone's reply back to the whole list).

Thanks for the advice, guys, but I know what AGC is and what it does.  My
question was regarding the *complete disappearance* of audio on strong
signals.  I would expect all the stages would be overloaded and producing
heavily distorted output....but....what happens is that audio disappears
completely, but only for S9+ sigs.  Has anyone tried this on their FT-1000D?

| Could someone please verify some strange behavior I'm seeing with
| my FT1000D
| please?  When tuning in the AM Broadcast band, AGC anywhere except OFF,
| everything is great.  But on strong local stations, turning AGC OFF causes
| the audio to decay into distortion, and then off completely.  This doesn't
| seem to happen on weak signals.
| Is this normal?
