I *always* have AGC on. To each his own. Don has an excellent and
enlightening AGC dissertation at www.w3fpr.com which is worth reading.
See "Noisy K3." You asked for settings, mine are:
THR=10
SLP=14
PLS=nor
HLD=0.1
DCY=nor
Fast=120
Slow=20
I operate mainly CW although I do listen to SSB a little and do a little
general coverage SWL listening. I run fast AGC on CW, usually slow on
SSB. Your threshold setting will depend somewhat on your ambient noise
level. Slope seems to be a personal preference. I like to hear a
difference between signals of different strength.
Before we moved, I was surrounded by electric fences [some mine] which
always started arcing in the spring when the weeds grew up on the fence
line. The noise blanker would take the pulses out, PLS=nor prevented
them from activating the AGC. I think DCY is personal preference, nor
seems to work best for my compromised hearing. Hope this helps ... and
actually answers your questions?

Hello all. Long time posting here. I am interested in CW AGC settings you
like on your K3. I have been fooling around with the settings and wonder
what others like. I am interested in CW contest settings.
