Hi,
No the AGC is On.  It's still overall several times higher than I have ever 
heard when in High.
That's very strange since I always had it at high and when I first checked 
it was at High.
So now if I put it to low is is as it has always been. Putting it at high 
with AGC off, I will now blow any speaker attached!

Did AGC get turned off?

HI,
Ok a strange thing happened today.  I was moving my K3 from one
rack to another and once everything was connected up I turned it
on. Now I use an external speaker and the volume was so loud that
it blew.  I immediately turned down the volume and went to the
speaker in the K3.  Barely touching the volume control resulted
in such a high volume level that I was afraid the speaker would
blow there too!.
I checked the menu setting for the AF Gain and it was set to high
which I have always used since I found the audio out of the K3
was too low for me.
Now, I’ve had to put it at low and it seems that it is now back
to the way it was.
So is it really that loud on High and why would I have not seen
this before?
Thanks, Tom
