> 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.

> quality back (not all - still some distortion). I then changed AGC HLD to
> .03 like you suggest. I wll keep these settings for now.
