I've been reading all the past threads on the Ten Tec list regarding adjusting AGC and am still at a loss about one thing (well, one that I know about).

If the Threshold setting determines the point at which AGC action begins to attenuate the signal, then why does the noise level go down when the Threshold is made higher. I guess I have this image of signals below the Threshold level as not being reduced in strength by AGC action. So, it seems that to turn AGC off would result in a maximum Threshold, (>191 uv) not .37uv as the menu reads.

Can someone explain this to me in two syllable words cuz I'm just not getting it.

tnx, Gary W7TEA
