RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

I AGC function

The AGC (auto gain control) controls receiver gain to
produce a constant audio output level even when the
received signal strength is varied by fading, etc.
The transceiver has 3 AGC characteristics (time con-
stant; fast, mid, slow) for non-FM mode.
The FM mode AGC time constant is fixed as
'FAST' (0.1 sec.) and AGC time constant cannot be
selected.
• AGC time constant selection
q Select non-FM mode.
w Push [AGC] several times to select AGC fast, AGC
medium (MID) or AGC slow.
• Selectable AGC time constant

stant for 'AGC SLOW.'
• AGC time constant can be set between 0.1 to 8.0 sec.
(depends on mode) or turned OFF.
