I found that the AGC mod for the Argosy II to cure the pops resulted in
poor QSK (natural tradeoff, I hadn't thought about it till I performed
the mod). I took my AGC back to the original values and learned to
appreciate pops on occasion.

Gene,
I made the mod on one of these Many years ago, I am not sure but I
think I
used the Mod for the Corsair I or maybe the Argosy. If you will find
one of
these Mods they are the exact same. I do remember that the mod was not
exactly the hang time that I wanted and I used a different value cap or
resistor to make it to my liking. It sure makes a fine rig better.

Subject: [TenTec] Century/22 AGC mod: urban legend?
I've chased the C/22 AGC mod to reduce "popping" all over the Internet,
but haven't nailed it down. Neither, apparently, has anyone else.
Does such a mod exist? I can make do with riding the RF gain, but
that's a
bit too much fiddling. The ARRL reviewer was ga-ga over the C/22's
AGC, so
maybe I'm missing something???
