Well....
That`s all because you don`t know what hapens when you receive from big distance the station in air ... if modulation goes above 100% ( i wrote that from master sound card volume you can adjust the deviation to receiver and no more "hlip" in HIGH`s ... ) .Here in Bulgaria almost no one can handle this especially fully analog compressors/limiters .If in compressor/limiter is present some CPU , this is handled because CPU is the most accurate device. So thatswhy this present is in that way. I can release the deviation but for the big big part of receivers is hard to survive like they say
... i test it for weeks on large amount of receivers . But look 99%-100% ... what is the difference to 102-103% ... in receiver this is not even noticeable. the deviation is function of HIGH frequency ( in this case 13 to 15 Khz for broadcast) level. If you wish turn OFF hard limit.. for more deviation but it goes to more then 120% So .. not recomended.
Ok for the preamp - Pramp is at good level because the target level in the AGC panel is -7.00db and +7.00 from preamp that is dinamic range of 14db ...... enough for different range of music .. from -14 RMS to 0RMS .... that`s very enough tested with old records where the RMS level is -9db .... from vinyl too ....
Gating Not work ??? i think that for the speed works fine because iff you set it to +10db gate or more the red bar goes at almost high and thats it... looks not good explanation from Your side about my gating level. may be a little more ... to +7 db not more. Look at clipping for the two bands when dinamic song is presented , they are at almost nothing( only for below 200Hz AGC band wneh bass stops and came back but this is normal , that shows that the gating is good . And one more .. when song plays the level for below 200Hz and other band above 200Hz are at even levels separately (look at that) not up down up down when bass kicks , thatswhy is the RMS level measure (NOT peak Level ) Hans is made it just right after my explanation .And for transmitting is the right method too .
For normal output =disable and TA/TP ... it`s for my tests .. you can disable that options or set at your wish.no problem.
But please For the AGC I`m the guy that post Vlevel and tells Hans how to work a (prelimiter) is not the right word but just AGC. Everything with this pannel is more then right now especially for broadcasting. And all this thanks to Hans.
Every thing is from receiver .. We must defer (consider) mainly with it . Fate
And final words : everything is TESTED for middle class receiver . for the HI classes receivers this explanations will be probably good ( I think that 110% modulation is OK for this type HI class receiver) .. but........ we have to defer like i said.
