In traditional AGC systems, the audio output from the
transceiver becomes essentially fixed once the thresh-
old for AGC action is reached (usually several dozen
dB above the no-signal noise floor). The FT 

DX

 9000D,

however, includes an innovative Sloped AGC system,
that allows the audio volume to rise and fall slightly
according to signal strength. Although the rise/fall are
not dramatic, they are sufficient to allow you to use
your ear to discern and separate signals according to
signal strength, not just audio frequency.

Using Sloped AGC

1.

To the bottom right side of the TFT, press the

MNU  (Menu) key (#

) momentarily to enter

the Menu mode; the Menu will appear on the TFT.

2.

Use the  Main  Tuning Dial (#

) to select Menu

Item “RX AUDIO 075 AGC-SLOPE.”

3.

Rotate the  CLAR/VFO-B  knob (#

) to change

the setting to “SLOPE.”

4.

Press and hold in the  MNU  key for two seconds
to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion. You will now be using the Sloped AGC sys-
tem.
