did you try this? There is an graphics update issue regarding the green thumb grip that is on my list that I haven't looked at yet, but it changes state most of the time. Right click anywhere on the main UI agc slider should do it.

It works as you describe Richie. But, maybe, I think that Gary was on to something., I'm not sure this was his intent, but another method to get a more intuitive, visual approach to adjusting auto AGC settings might be to allow manual adjustment of the AGC slider or G line and then, if auto AGC is activated at that point, for the auto AGC differential/offset/shift to be set to maintain that relative level from there on.
In fact, this is probably the best way to do it. It avoids having another option, and it avoids requiring the knowledge of non-obvious modifier keys.
Then if people want to know what the actual differential/offset/shift (we need to pick a name ) is, they can just right click the AGC slider title to dump themselves into the AGC settings and look at the number in the box.
Sorry for the late reply to this: no, that was not what I had intended Scott. I see where you're going but here's my thinking. One generally will spend a bit of time - massaging - for that AGC offset level ... and generally would want to keep that level once set. However there are times, when for example chasing very weak signal DX on 160M CW, where I'll want to run the line and manually adjust the AGC. In those cases I just want to be able to manually grab the knob (DJ panel for me, so a real knob) and adjust it as I need at the time.... once done however I want to go back to that previously considered and set level of offset. Thus my request to be able to turn it back on. So I was just looking for the ability to turn it off manually and then back on again. I say this only because I'd prefer it stay that way, I think Richie got it right, IMHO. I don't want my once in a while manual excursions to impact the longer term set value.
