[Elecraft] K-3 BCB DX setup advice request.

Tim,
 
As you tune around the AM broadcast band you will want to keep in mind this excellent paper by Jack Smith, K8ZOA: http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/peak_and_average_agc_and_am_mode.htm .
 
The end result of these measurements is that you should disable the K3's AGC while listening to AM BC. It sounds so much better. Jack answered a nagging question I had had for years concerning why AM BC sounded so poor on ham receivers, and now I know why.
 
Regards,
