Nor do I. ATT=ON/PRE=OFF on 160, 80, and 40 unless 40 is unusually quiet. Then I might set ATT=OFF [not common], ATT=OFF/PRE=OFF on 20, ATT=OFF/PRE=ON on 10, and sometimes PRE=ON on 15 [also not common]. I'm about 90% CW, I run QSK no QRQ most of the time, QRQ in contests. Paddle is on the K3, computer keys via WinKey USB.

I haven't touched the AGC settings since the firmware that added all of them came out and I never back off the RF GAIN. AGC=F on CW and AFSK, AGC=S on SSB. I'm moderately deaf from noise trauma many years ago, so AF GAIN is at about 12 to 1 o'clock. I use headphones almost exclusively unless I'm just monitoring 14061 for a SOTA activation, my K3 sounds better than any radio I've ever had including the TS-850 which is noted for great audio.

I wonder how many of the various receive artifacts that are discussed on the list would be resolvable with very careful adjustment of AGC and other parameters?

I definitely don't have the CW QRQ problems that others seem to be
