[Moon-net] IC-7000

[Leif Asbrink]

Hi All,

This radio is known to have AGC problems. I do not know
whether it is a problem for WSJT because I assume that 
WSJT is better with AGC switched off. I just do not know if 
IC-7000 has the AGC=off option.....

The problem is that the AGC voltage is derived from a peak
detector with high dynamic range so infrequent but very
strong pulses will cause a high AGC voltage and no signal....
