Hello Jon.

Hope to work you on 160 soon.

I'm' sure that you are aware of this, but just in case a remind that the
FT-100D has a fast AGC setting that is very useful for CW, just press the
function key to bring up the IPO, ATT, AGC, NB functions row; and by
pressing C (AGC) you can toggle the recovery time to SLOW (SLO), FAST (FST)
AND AUTO (FST).

I have used my FT-100D on 160 with excellent results, It was used on 160 CW
at 4M9YY DXpedition and we were impressed with its performance.

Have a very nice weekend.

Just when conditions are getting good on top band, my Icom 756 quit. I am
limping along with my FT-100D as exciter but the rx is far from adequate. As
I CQ I know there are stations but can not pull them out of the noise. No
AGC off on the FT100......
