This is interesting. I had always heard that a fast AGC was best for a
carrier-type mode such as RTTY or AM. It sounds reasonable to me that one
would want to maintain a steady audio level into the decoder, but maybe
that is not always true.
Can someone explain why slower is better for 2Tone? Is this true only for
2Tone or for other decoders as well?
Many thanks,
Bill, W6WRT
