Bob - I agree with the observation about the K3's effectiveness in separating contest signals in big piles as that was the only thing that irritated me during CQWW CW contest. I have just started to try and optimize the AGC settings for large signal conditions and so far, I'm not anywhere close yet. If I can find anything useful, I will post it here. I certainly do hope others who may already have optimized their K3 AGC for large signal contest, will also post their information.

We used K3s at P3F this year. While performance was generally considered good, some questions were raised over the effectiveness of the K3 in separating signals in large piles. Similar concerns appear to have surfaced from other users including the guys at 9L5VT and C6ATA. Anecdotal evidence suggests the old TS930 and TS850 performed better in such circumstances. I suspect the AGC systems of the K3s used had not optimised. Has collective experience of the K3 contesting community derived optimum settings for the K3 AGC system in this kind of situation?
