It's possible this might be a problem on SSB or CW using the
'870, but I use mine mostly on RTTY and I've never noticed an AGC
problem with it.
I suspect from comments I've heard over the years the '870 might
not be the best choice for SSB/CW contesting, but for RTTY I
can't imagine anything better. If there is, I'd like to try one
out. :-)
