Based on noise level and conditions, I ALWAYS back the RF Gain down. Under
these conditions with no signal the S meter typically indicates S1 to S2,
certainly no higher than S3. Using this set-up any weak signal will pop out
of the noise.
And yes, one does need AGC just in case about the time one is trying to dig the weak signal out of the noise, a close by / strong station decides to tune on the frequency with a S9 +20dB signal. Saves ears. 73 Bob, K4TAX |
