and

>I had resigned myself to living with the AGC off because I can't stand
>the sound of the audio with it on in CW mode
>(I've come close to selling it because of that many times),

AHA!!!
Whenever I've posted a comment saying that my rx was noisy, it's generated
a flurry of responses saying that I'm crazy, and don't know what I'm
talking about or listening to.

I'll never sell ol' #1823, but I did put her on the back shelf for a while
until I added the DSPUPG board, and I'm giving her another critical listen.

Considering this and my never-loud-enough speaker amp, I must come to the
conclusion that NOT ALL THESE RADIOS ARE THE SAME!

Tnx John, and George - I feel your pain (to quote an ex-president).
