■ AGC function
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) controls receiver gain to
produce a constant audio output level, even when the
received signal strength varies greatly. The transceiver
has three pre-set AGC time constants; fast, mid, and
slow for SSB, CW, RTTY and AM modes.
In the FM mode, the AGC time constant is fixed to
“FAST” (0.1 second).
D AGC speed selection
q Select either the SSB, CW, RTTY or AM mode.
(p. 31)
w Push [MENU] to display the “M1” screen (Menu 1),
then push [AGC](F-1) one or more times to select
AGC fast ( ), AGC mid ( ) or AGC slow ( ).
“AGC OFF” appears when the selected AGC
speed’s time constant is set to OFF.
D Setting the AGC time constant
q Select either the SSB, CW, RTTY or AM mode.
(p. 31)
w Push [MENU] to display the “M1” screen (Menu 1),
then hold down [AGC](F-1) for 1 second to display
the “AGC” screen.
e Push either [FAST](F-2), [MID](F-3) or [SLOW](F-4)
to select the desired AGC speed to be set.

An underline appears below the time constant display.
r Rotate [DIAL] to set the desired time constant.
•AGCtimeconstantcanbesettobetween0.1to8.0
seconds (depending on the mode) or turned OFF.
•Holddown[FAST](F-2), [MID](F-3) or [SLOW](F-4) for
1 second to reset to the default setting for the selected
time constant.
t Select another mode (except for FM), then repeat
steps e and r, if desired.
y Push [MENU] to save, and exit the “AGC” screen.

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 [DIAL] to set the time constant to OFF.
