Feature request - The noise threshold level in the AGC
Most receivers have antennas with different sensitivity in a given section of the band, preamplifiers, attenuators, etc. My loop full of industrial garbage works like this:
80m s7 ~ 80dBm noise,
40m s6 ~ 90dBm noise,
20m s4 ~ 104dBm noise
17m s3 ~ 110dBm noise
e.t.c.
For comfortable listening, say -10dBm of background noise, you have to manually change it each time.
A nice solution would be in the admin panel to add the function of automatic noise threshold adjustment, let's say -10 -20dBm to choose from, or to manually assign these values for a specific segment.
Any chance for something like this in the near future?
greetings

you might be able to achieve the same thing with an Audio Compressor in your audio path
I checked on several receivers and the changes in turning the compressor on or off are negligible, almost zero, and the effect is completely different than with the Threshold slider
You may use a threshold of about -80dBm or even -70 and forget about it. At night on the lower bands I may go up to -50dBm, but you can achieve that in one second.
The reality is that setting a threshold of -130dBm or so just makes you listen to very strong static noise. The only test you should perform is to detach your antenna and see if you can hear a change in the noise power by more than 10 dB, then increase the threshold until this difference gets to about 10dB.
