I don't think it's possible. Some dsp functions are not available with AGC off. Sometimes it's quieter with AGC off and reduced rf gain but not always.
After 3 years, the best way to reduce hiss for me is to reduce hi cut (on ssb) sometimes to 2.4,sometimes 2.1. I would think in a contest you would be running narrow anyway but wouldn't want AGC off. " Can the DSP in the K3 be bypassed? In other words, can it be operated as a conventional superheterodyne receiver without any processing? Would be interesting to do A/B comparison testing. Years ago I had a Ten Tec Omni 6 Plus, a great radio except for the horrid DSP hiss. I always wished I could somehow bypass or defeat the DSP just to see how much better it would be to listen to through a long contest without that awful hiss." 73 Mike R RIP- Mr 500.
