Hi All,
Sorry,
I just changed AGC HLD to .3 (not .03).  I think that the quality is much
better now probably like it was with FW 2.78.
Sorry for the confusion.  (I knew Wayne would not mess up like that!)

Hi Wayne and all,
Just before our MARS net tonight I installed Beta 3.03.
When the net started I had a lot of distortion on all the signals regardless
of signal strength.  It sounded like the static went up as stations spoke.
I did not know what was changed so I reloaded FW 2.78 complete (during the
net!).  I then got back the good signal quality I was used to.  I then
copied down the agc settings which I believe are stock.

I then reloaded beta 3.03 (during the net!),  The distortion was back.  All
the AGC settings were the same except for the new AGC variable "AGC DCY" was
set to "nor".  I changed this to "soft" and got most of the nice voice
quality back (not all - still some distortion).  I then changed AGC HLD to
.03 like you suggest.  I wll keep these settings for now.

73,
Steve Pituch, W2MY, AAR6CX
