Sherrill,

I believe you are asking about the AGC settings.  If so, know that the
settings are dependent on your local noise levels.  I suggest you create
your own.
Use the information in the "Noisy K3" article on my website
(www.w3fpr.com) as a guideline.
That article was written before the AGC menu parameters were expanded,
but the principles are the same.  That information will allow you to set
the parameters that best suit your local noise level and your operating
desires.

73,
Don W3FPR

Is anyone using the K3 for receive on 500KHZ?

I do not have the KBPF3 installed and of course the K3
is deaf on 500KHZ,  so before I order one, would like
to know if it works down that far in freq.  Or is it
compromise performance compared to a good 500KHZ
receiver?

Thanks  73 Merv K9FD/KH6
