Adding to that...AGC SLP has a profound effect on the AGC compression ratio. Higher settings make all signals sound relatively the same. A few posts back, I recall seeing comments about how signals on a Yaesu transceiver seemed to "pop out." For that to noticeably happen on the K3, AGC SLP will need to be set for lower menu values. From the K3 manual: AGC SLP - (Advanced.) Higher values result in 'flatter' AGC (making signals at all amplitudes closer in AF output level)." My AGC SLP setting is on the lower end of the range as I actually prefer audio dynamic range rather than homogenizing everything on the band. Aggressive AGC SLP and AGC THR add to a perceived increase in background noise and signals that do not "pop out."
