Synchronous AM on the RA6790
Hi everyone, I have a question for the technical guru's. When I tune in AM stations using SAM on my WJ8711, its quite obvious that is generating and reinserting its own carrier. There is a momentary

Re: Racal RA6790 Hang AGC problems
I can write Arduino code. Might be an interesting project... However, I am always a bit loathe to do too many mods to what is a classic receiver after all. Mine definitely engages hang AGC in medium

RA6790 AGC Mods
For anyone who is interested, I thought I would do a quick write up of how to change the AGC time constants on the RA6790/GM There are two separate stages that control AGC on this receiver, a "hang"
