The following are the settings I am using on 40, 75, 160 for armchair 
copy (meaning very reduced hiss and no ANF warbling). My RX audio goes 
through amplified Behringer studio speakers with bass/treble adjustments.

The speaker adjustments:
     bass at 3 o'clock and the treble at 11 o'clock

K3 settings:
     AGC DLY - NORM
     AGC HLD - 0
     AGC PLS - NORM
     AGC SLP - 4
     AGC THR - 12
     AGC F - 120
     AGC S - 20
     Shift - 1.4
     Width - 2.7
     RF Gain - 90
     ATT - ON
     RX EQ 1         -2
                 2        0
                 3        +9
                 4        +12
                 5        +11
                 6        +14
                 7        -16
                 8        -16

Be sure to read the "Noisy K3" section on  http://www.w3fpr.com/

The disclaimer:  Your mileage of the above settings may vary - depending 
upon speaker selection, personal preferences, and your hearing aquity.

Note:  I made all of my settings by hand, using the K3 menus. I did NOT 
use K3 EZ as that program will sometimes upset the AGC settings.
