Yes, just looked it up.
I was (partially) wrong about the un-synced frequency though. The synchro's for the docking radar ran from a different power circuit than the AGC, and whilst they were frequency locked they weren't in phase; resulting in timings getting thrown off and the priority issues.
Edit: Superb deep dive on AGC in Ars from last week
