    Saving Systems in DB to Favorites?

    How do I take a System in the Full Database on the 436 and save it to a Favorites list? Seems like I'm only allowed to save channels one by one which could take a long time.

    BCDx36 Wish: REAL AGC

    I sure miss having a working AGC. The volume varies from barely audible to blast-me-out-of-my-recliner. An external speaker might help, but shouldn't be necessary. With all the digital signal processing going on in the radio, an AGC that works should be a piece of cake. Anyone else?
