{Collins} AGC - A question.

["Walter E. Cheatham" <wearlc1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

For quite some time I have had a a question nagging me about AGC in the 
various Collins receivers, specifically the S-Line. I will now go ahead 
and ask it now.

I have recently seen some questions about various AGC functions of 
different receivers, the most recent was the 51S-1.

My big concern is that maybe I do not understand how I can actually hear 
the difference on the AGC setting, specifically the fast or slow. In 
addition the hear-able difference between fast attack and slow decay.

Maybe is it simply my ears but I thought I'd ask this anyway.

Frankly I feel a bit shy to even ask but since I do not know everything 
about electronics and radio. even though I have known electronics since 
1963 or so (when I first was learning electronics) I find that my 
knowledge is limited when I compare to Bill Carns and others (I am NOT 
an engineer).

So, what is or are the answers????
