That website is www.w3fpr.com.
The article was created before the AGC parameters were expanded, but the
principles are the same.
As it has been said here, turn off the preamp if it is not needed, and
even add the attenuator.
If you hear an increase in noise level when you connect an antenna,
there is enough gain. The K3 has more than enough gain on all but the
most quiet bands without the preamp, so turning it off when not needed
goes a long way toward reducing the hiss of ambient band noise.

The article regarding AGC at w3prf.com was most interesting and
informative. I am now experimenting with the AGC settings much more
than I had. So far this morning, I am enjoying the K3 far more than I
have in the past. This may just be the magic bullet for the hiss
problem that has bothered me so much.
Thanks,
