Hi Grant,

Interesting.  It sounds like if I had had the problem I would certainly have
noticed it :-)

I'll play around some and see what happens.  For normal operation I
typically run the RF gain wide open and Threshold around 10uV.  Maybe the
threshold setting is why I've missed the fun ...

        The more I think about it, the more I feel
lowering Threshold caused my problem.  I did
that after I finally understood how the new 1.372
RFGAIN implementation was supposed to work.

        Before I got your E-mail, I just reset all
my Thresholds to 10 uV!  I noticed it was 3 uV
for F/M/S but 10 for Prog.  That could very well
explain the seemingly inconsistent results I've
gotten.  In contests, I normally use Prog so that
I have full control of everything...and if that were
10 uV it would explain why I had no problems
in contests.

P.S.  Posting this to the reflector since it may
be of general interest to others.
