Default AVC on HK Radio

Just curious as to what you have your AVC set to? A lot of people on here say they can't hear their radios at 70. On mine even with the factory speakers and slip-ons with the packing removed my HK still manages to drown out the pipes no problem. I have mine set on 3.

I lowered mine to 2. I usually listen to it pretty loud so I don't need it changing all that much at speed. I'd rather adjust it manually when I need to anyway.

Automatic Volume Control.

It's what makes the volume increase when you're moving and decrease when you stop so you don't offend the cagers next to you at the light.

You can adjust it using the mode switch on the left grip and following the directions in your owner's manual.

Mine is set at whatever the factory default is. I think 3 or 4.

Mine's on 2. I like it fairly loud at speed, but don't like imposing my tunes on others and vice versa. At this setting you can hear it at idle, but a an unobtrusive level.
