Why wouldn't just setting AGC to medium or slow solve all the problems you are trying to fix. That way you never get blasted, you don't have to find a very strong signal to set audio gain, you never get AGC compression on speech, and you don't get band noise between words.

But the biggest problem with the scheme of using high audio gain and low
RF gain is you can still get blasted by a very strong signal as you tune
the band.



That's why the very first step was turning RF Gain to full max, tuning in
an s9++ signal and setting the AF Gain so the signal is comfortably loud.
You leave the AF Gain right there (always) and you never get "blasted." All
adjustments after that are with RF Gain.
