I have similar perceptions in CW mode and generally leave AGC turned off. The only problem I've encountered living in Florida is that on the 40m-20M bands, the 100 kHz/sec sweep from the Department of Homeland Security's ROTHR system nearly leaves me with permanent hearing damage. http://tinyurl.com/2egfnjo The sweeps occur at regular intervals, usually around 12 minutes apart from three ROTHR transmit facilities located in TX, VA, and PR. With the SDR-IQ running, I can usually react in time to activate AGC before the sweep appears on my listening frequency. However, when I'm not looking at the screen, the result is pretty painful. I know that the K3 firmware was updated some time back to include a peak-limiter function, but it seems to respond after the fact.
