Thanks Hans. Fantastic update - again!
The AGC works really well after a bit of tweaking to get rid of the rice krispies and get the required amount of squish and release. So many parameters to play with!? :)
I tried the radio out from home (near Edinburgh, Scotland) this evening - running into an EFHW cut for 40m, up about 7m. Calling CQ on 20m brought in 6 contest stations from the US within 10 minutes! Not bad at all. The radio, and its AGC performed admirably in the crowded band. Now to try it out on the hills...
Cheers,
Ronan
