For your information
When you are receiving a weak signal, and a strong
signal is momentarily received, the AGC function
quickly reduces the receiver gain. When that sig-
nal disappears, the transceiver may not receive
the weak signal because of the AGC action. In that
case, hold down [AGC](F-1) for 1 second, and ro-
tate [MAIN DIAL] to set the time constant to OFF.
