K-3 BCB DX setup advice request.

A request for assistance from those K-3 operators on the list who are BCB DX'ers.

What filters and settings provide the best results?

In particular AGC settings and if anyone uses SSB mode.

72,

Tim K3HX

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,
 
Al  W6LX
