I'm sorry for the bandwidth, but upon rereading my recent message, I'm 
appalled at all my spelling mistakes, so here is a corrected message.

Wayne,
  I would add that I have found that using AGC-S with SLP=6 and THR=6 gives
me the ability in CW pileups to separate out the signals by riding the RF
gain control, without turning off the AVC and risking getting blown out by
strong signals.  I used these settings in WPX CW this past weekend and found
them very effective.  It's hard to figure this out on the fly, but I had
tried varying the settings by listening to another station's pileup a few
contests ago.
  The K3 is just a great run radio: unless the adjacent stations have
clicks, you simply don't hear them (though the P3 shows just where they are
if you want to optimize your frequency between big signals).
