[amsat-bb] Re: Mod to disable AGC in FT-847

Hi,

A couple of times over the years, there have been requests for a way to disable the AGC in the FT-847 for things like noise measurements. I came across a modification here http://www.frenning.dk/OZ1PIF_HOMEPAGE/FT-847%20AGC-Off%20Mod.htm which is reported to do that.

The pictures provided there also show how the crystal INRAD filters should be installed. I literally just came back from the post office with a box of INRAD filters for the 847 :)

Thanks!
