NOTE When you are receiving weak signals, and a strong
signal is momentarily received, the AGC function quickly
reduces the receiver gain. When that signal disappears,
the transceiver may not receive the weak signal because
of the AGC action. In that case, select FAST, or touch
[AGC] for 1 second to open the AGC screen, and then
select OFF the time constant setting.
You can reset
