I run the K3 with AGC-Off in all digital modes and rely on the roofing/DSP
filters to edge out really strong signals. Most of the time the software
will compensate in pulling the weak signals out of the mud a lot better
than your rig making them louder.
I would suggest playing with each setting
We used 2x K3's and one KX3/KXPA100 for last field day. We started to get
bleed-in from the K3's into the KX3. Setting IF SHIFT = 8 fixed the issue
and no problems from then on out.
Due to space/coax constraints, the antennas were probably way closer than
they should have been, but other than

I'd add the P3TXMON feature to the P3. It'll help with tuning audio with
