Right on Drew, and that is why I have another receiver always tuned to the 
beacon whenever I'm on the net....but I reiterate.....I crank up the power 
on 435 to stay 10db or more below the beacon....the agc changes, and  then 
I'll exceed that level.  Leila has smacked me before I could possibly reach 
the output control, and my reflexes are still pretty good...

And I've observed the same phenomena, net and otherwise....1.2 up solved 
the problem for me, but I know all will not choose that route...
