An AM stereo receiver includes an AGC system with first and second AGC system characteristics. The first AGC system characteristic provides a relatively constant receiver output signal for increasing received signal strength, i.e., a hard AGC characteristic. The second AGC characteristic provides a somewhat increasing receiver output signal for increasing received signal strength, i.e., a soft AGC system characteristic. A tuning detector is used to detect when the receiver is being tuned. When the receiver is being tuned, the AGC system is conditioned to provide a relatively soft AGC characteristic, which facilitates accurate receiver tuning. When the receiver is not being tuned, the AGC system is conditioned to provide a relatively hard AGC characteristic, which facilitates accurate left and right stereo channel separation.
