5.3.1 AGCMODE Control Automatic Gain Control
1. This command can fundamentally change the way that the receiver operates. Do not alter the default
settings unless you are confident that you understand the consequences.
2. When the AGC mode is disabled, the Receiver Status word in the message header, discussed in
Table 46, Receiver Status on Page 93, reports the AGC as GOOD as long as the control metric used in
the feedback loop is within 7.5% of the set point.
This command controls the EuroPak-15a’s Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mechanism, which has two primary
functions:
• To perform the analog-to-digital conversions in the receiver’s front end.
• Mitigate jamming.
