[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

[Matt Maguire]

A better solution than disabling AGC altogether may be to customize it to your needs. The K3 AGC is very configurable. The following article on Don's webpage is very informative:http://www.w3fpr.com/K3_AGC.htm
Also, I would suggest checking out Fred Cady's book on K3 or KX3. I'd be quite surprised if Fred didn't do a full write-up on AGC configuration, together with some nice diagrams.

Dave,

Look in the owner's manual for CONFIG: AF LIM.  This function will
limit audio out when AGC is disabled.  I run mine around 20.

It will save your hearing!
