Analog AGC which CANNOT be turned off since it is ALWAYS ON to protect overdriving the DSP's ADC with signals stronger than ~S9+30. Oops, that level is actually closer to S9+40: "That means a receive

the antenna terminals on Orion produced quite a bit of "noise floor." This appears to be a noise generated by the circuits (IF amp after mixer?) Turning the preamp on, increases the noise slightly, w
but certainly cannot not be described as AGC OFF. You are 100% correct. I had never looked at the actual values since I never turn my AGC off but now I see what you mean. Perhaps they are attempting
dynamic range, which may be significantly degraded by a preamp, particularly by a high gain one. That's what I would have thought too, but ARRL measured otherwise (1 kHz spacing, 14 MHz, 500 Hz BW):
This minimizes AGC-induced interference with signals at noise level. Very interesting Sinisa. I have not played with such high settings of Hang and played with this on some very weak signals on Topba
