[Elecraft] Recommended AGC settings for separation of signals in CW pile-ups

CQ WW CW is now over.  We used K3s at P3F this year.  While performance was
generally considered good, some questions were raised over the effectiveness
of the K3 in separating signals in large piles.

Similar concerns appear to have surfaced from other users including the guys
at 9L5VT and C6ATA.  Anecdotal evidence suggests the old TS930 and TS850
performed better in such circumstances.  I suspect the AGC systems of the
K3s used had not optimised.

Has collective experience of the K3 contesting community derived optimum
settings for the K3 AGC system in this kind of situation?

Thanks
