Actually I believe the AGC is audio derived. That is why the audio CW
filtering works so well.
The ALC limits the transmitter output. Full clockwise sets the limit at
maximum. It decreases as the ALC control is rotated CCW. For most
uses, it will stay fully clockwise.
The Omni-C has what was termed "hang AGC" I think. It takes a quarter
of a second or so to begin to decay but then it decays quickly. It does
not change with the mode, as I recall.
The Omni-C is a great rig !

| TX ALC

| IF
|
| Not mode dependent (I think ?)

| Have Omni D ---B, but been in the closet 15 yrs or more. Will try and
find
| manual to brush up on it for you.
