I can run with 400 or 250hz filters.
I have tried it with AGC fast, slow off etc.
I just think this is something that most people just never see. This was
a major point of discussion a while back. I guess it is just the way
the radio is. I will have to try another rig to see if I notice the
same effects.
In a pileup there is no offending station they are all calling me.
I was just curious if other contesters or DXpeditioners settings might
be and if they are still seeing this issue.

Mike,
Think about it - if there are multiple signals in the passband, the
AGC will respond to the strongest, there is just no way around that fact.
If the signals can be separated by the DSP, and one is really strong,
that strong station may be activating the Hardware AGC. The only
solution for the latter is a more narrow roofing filter - put the
offending strong signal out of the passband of the roofing filter and
use shift to get your sidetone for the desired signal back in order.
That may be too much "fiddling" for a run station in a contest, but it
is a viable way to operate when trying to copy a weak station working
close to a strong station.

We noticed again during the contest hat when 3 or 4 stations called, all
those signals would be flattened to the same level. Once you got to
where one or two stations were calling the signal level would pop up
substantially.
I have played endlessly with slope and threshold with little effect.
My K3 has the new syn boards as well and filters from 2.8 to 2.5.
Latest firmware etc.
