1200 OPERATING MANUAL

AGC

(

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL

)

The $GC system is designed to help compensate for fading and other propagation effects. The $GC characteristics can

be individually set for each operating mode. The basic objective of $GC is to maintain a constant audio output level

once a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is achieved.

3ress the

[

AGC

]

button repeatedly to select the desired

receiver-recovery time constant. You will observe the

$GC status notation in the $GC column of the .ey

Function 'isplay on the TFT display, denoting the $GC

receiver-recovery time currently in use. For most opera-

tions, we recommend the “$UT2” mode. $dditionally,

you may disable the $GC by pressing and holding in the

[

AGC

]

button for one second.

The “$UT2” selection mode selects the optimum

receiver-recovery time for the reception mode.

In this case, the selected receiver-recovery time in

the $GC column of the .ey Function 'isplay glows

3ressing the

desired receiver-recovery time constant. 1ormally,

the “$UT2” selection is satisfactory for most situ-

ations, but in the event of operation on a crowded

band where you wish to receive a weak signal, you

may wish to change the setting to F$ST. The $UT2

ADVICE:



If the $GC receiver-recovery time is set to “2ff” by

pressing and holding in the

[

AGC

]

button, the S-

meter will no longer deÀect. $dditionally, you will

likely encounter distortion on stronger signals, as the

IF ampli¿ers and the following stages are probably

being overloaded.

UICK POINT:

Several aspects of $GC performance may be con¿gured

via the 0enu. However, because $GC can have such a

profound impact on overall receiver performance, we

generally do not recommend any changes to the $GC

0enu selections until you are thoroughly familiar with

the performance of the

TERMINOLOGY:

$utomatic Gain Control, or $GC, is a circuit that senses

the received signal strength, and then limits the gain of

the 5F and IF stages to keep the output audio volume at

a more-or-less constant level. $GC also protects the 5F,

IF, $udio, and 'S3 stages from overload, as it limits the

signal strength that is allowed to Àow, irrespective of the

input signal level.

SLOPED AGC Operation

In traditional $GC systems, the audio output from the transceiver becomes essentially ¿xed once the threshold

for $GC action is reached usually several do]en dB above the no-signal noise Àoor). The

1200

, however,

includes an innovative Sloped $GC system on the 0ain band VF2-$) receiver, that allows the audio volume

to rise and fall slightly according to signal strength. $lthough the risefall slope is not dramatic, it is suf¿cient to

allow you to use your ear to discern and separate signals according to signal strength, not just audio freTuency.
