It is possible to turn off the agc with the IC7700,reception of VO1NA more then once..This is a dsp based receiver,also very stable with the OCXO.

This could be a backward step for those of us using Argo/ Spectran etc to look for
weak signals. All DSP receivers including the Icom 756 Pro 111 are not able to turn
off the AGC. Hence when looking in a small bandwith usually much smaller than the
DSP or even conventional filter bandwiths a strong signal within this larger b/w will
de-sensitise the receiver to the extent that the weak signal will be lost. This was the
problem I had in the early days of TA working.
