However, my IC706 Mk1 has the AGC on permanently (though the speed is switchable), and I take the output from a fixed level point on the rear panel. I was trying to work out how to drive the audio into distortion. This morning I worked out that I should increase the input gain on my sound card to maximum and reduce the Argo gain. This had a useful effect as the attached JPG shows - Before on the left, After on the right. For anyone who needs instructions, I right-clicked on the sound card icon on my toolbar, selected Adjust Audio Properties (not Adjust Volume Controls - these are outputs, not inputs) and in the Sound Recording area of the box, clicked Volume, and turned the control to max. I am not sure how standard these controls are, but I hope this helps someone. The adjustment is well worth it.
