FUNCTION FOR RECEIVE

■ 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 se-
lected.
• AGC time constant selection
q Select non-FM mode.
w Push [AGC] several times to select AGC fast, AGC
medium (MID) or AGC slow.
