Hi,

I have a K3, and am seeing what looks to be some sort of unknown, and unexpected AGC action when I have AGC off, on both the K3, and within Windows.

I am trying to triage this to the radio, the computer, or WSJT-X.

Here are the test conditions:

WSJT-X used as the software for testing. K3 is feeding audio directly to the computer via a USB cable, Windows 10. I believe I have AGC off in Windows...

Here is what makes me question the AGC:

1.  K3 bandwidth set to 4KHz.
2.  WSJT-X showing 0-4000 Hz in waterfall.
3.  If I reduce bandwidth using the control on the K3 I see:
       a.  A reduction in the level shown by WSJTX input meter.
       b.  An INCREASE in noise on the waterfall.

This is totally unexpected to me... I would expect to see the waterfall stay the same brightness, and the waterfall width reduce, while the input meter drops. Why the brightness change? Is this happening within WSJT-X?
