Re: Question: Why do you call "AGC" a simple automatic antenna "attenuator" in this forum? #ubitx #ubitxv6

I tried the scheme with two computer switching diodes from the earphone lines to ground and it does work although not as effectively as I'd hoped. I'll prepare a headset to do this for me and I expect it to still work as designed with other applications. May have to change the connector, though, to avoid cutting the headphone line. Bob ¡ª KK5R

Hi, I have done and will be doing it again. When very loud signals suddenly appear in the cans, instead of making your ears bleed you will hear it suddenly very distorted and maybe a little louder. That is your cue to turn down the volume. It won't function like the AGC you are used to. It will protect your hearing. 73, Bill?
