[amsat-bb] Icom combined RF gain and squelch knob

The Icom 910H and 9100 radios have a combined RF gain and squelch knob. The choice of settings are:

1. "rF/SqL" RF gain and squelch controls are combined for SSB/CW mode. Acts as squelch control for FM mode.

2. "Auto" Acts as a gain control in SSB/CW mode and a Squelch control in FM mode.

3. "SQL" Acts as squelch control for all modes. RF gain is set to maximum level in this setting.

I'm tempted to choose the last option which sets the RF gain at maximum. The default is number 1. I'd like to find something that works without adjustment when switching back and forth between FM and SSB satellites. What option are you using?
