A receiver including an rf amplifier(14) having an input, an output and a gain control input(38), for deriving a gain control signal. A gain control (36) responsive to the gain control signal. The gain control (36) comprises at least 2 parallel arranged bias currents (40,42,44), at least one(42 or 44) of the 2 bias current means including switching means(SW1 or SW2) responsive to a control voltage varying by a predetermined amount relative to a reference voltage(Vref1 or Vref2) for actuating the switching means(SW1 or SW2) to connect or disconnect the bias current (42 or 44) to or from the gain control input.
