[Elecraft] When do you use fast AGC?

[Fred Jensen]

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
