Feature Request Title: AGC That Tracks The Preamp And RX1 Loop Gain
Current Status: SBMT (Submitted)
Assigned To:
 

       
Report Detail:
I have implemented routines that make the AGC level compensate for the additional gain of the preamp.  It also tracks the gain/loss of the RX1 loop.

This addition greatly enhances the operator experience because you don't have to keep adjusting the AGC each time you turn the preamp on and off.  It keeps the background noise at the level the user sets.  You also instantly know if turning the preamp on 'buys' you anything in readability.

PowerSDR already does this compensation for the 'S' meter and the display traces. 

I'll send my code to Flex.
