[Elecraft] [K3] Setting RF gain & AGC correctly

[lstavenhagen]

Agree, even I figured out how to twiddle the AGC settings once I found them.
They're not hard to find, just scroll until you see something that starts
with "AGC..." hi hi. If I can do it, anyone can.

As for the defaults, IMO, the K3/K3S AGC is plenty good enough to live with
them for quite a while even if you _don't_ manage to find the configuration
settings somehow. In fact, about all you'll notice is a slightly strange
occasional "pumping" action on AGC - S on CW sigs with a lot of QSB, which
may or may not make you scratch your head and send you to the manual.

On voice it might be a little fatiguing on AGC - F after a while; again that
may send you to the manual to look for settings or it may not. 

As for not sounding like your favorite other rig, you say that like it's a
bad thing hi hi. I'd rather not hear the squeal of the tuner-upper 1kc away
blowing through the filters at all, no matter how nice the audio of it may
be. That's what I get with my K's regardless of any other issues my hearing
may have....
