AGC attempts to minimize the audio volume differences between signals with
widely varying signal strengths. Flat slope means AGC makes them all have
the same volume (no volume increase as signal strength increases), 1:10dB
means audio volume increases 1dB for every 10dB increase in signal strength,
and 2:10dB means audio volume increases 2dB for every 10dB increase in
signal strength. Or at least that's my take on it. Non-flat slope is a
good thing, especially when trying to pick signals out of a pileup.
