I do likewise. If the QRM is close in frequency and strong enough to
pump the AGC. I typically disable AGC by turning the AF gain to max
and using RF gain as a volume control (just like I did in the old
days of simple detectors and fixed AGC).

FWIW: I use fast AGC on CW, and either med or slow on the rare
times I'm on SSB. In a QRM-free situation with either slow or no
QSB, med or slow AGC is probably a bit easier on the ears.
However, in rapid QSB, the AGC doesn't recover fast enough and the
signal falls below the threshold of my very poor hearing.
Likewise, in QRM and very close strong signals, I find the fast
setting to be best. YMMV

Hi gang,
The K2 is the first rig I've had that has adjustable AGC. Under
what conditions would one benefit from using fast AGC? It seems
that slow AGC is easier on the ears on CW.
Thanks & 73,
