AGC, fast slow switch mod

[MrExtreme]

I found this mod that is supposed to make the AGC switchable fast or slow. What does that do and why would it be wanted switchable like that?

Thanks Lee

Switch-able ACG is for SSB work. What it does is slow down the receiver falloff giving the SSB signal more of a constant level. It can make ssb reception clearer and more pleasing. Almost every ham HF rig has it with several having different levels of falloff.

OK, that makes sense, thanks.
