We have about 60 K3 owners testing the K3's new AGC. I'm sure we'll  
hear from some of them, but here's a summary of comments they've sent  
to me so far:

- copy is much improved in dense pile-up conditions

- signals have more "clarity"

- QSB is more noticeable on weak signals (this is to be
   expected on signals that are not activating AGC)

- the noise blanker has become more effective in some cases
   (also expected; its effect is not being muted by AGC compression)

I'll be happy to send out additional copies of the new firmware. If  
all goes well this should become a beta release next week.
