k3 AGC question KD8NNU

[KD8NNU]

With AGC ON for SSB my background hiss goes up.  If I turn AGC off it
gets real quite but with it on fast or slow the hiss comes up.

I have tried all kinds of settings, anyone have an idea what setting I
need to adjust.  This happens with the standard defaults or moving SLP
or THR around.

Maybe there is another setting that I need to look at.

Note NR and NB are turned off.

Thx

Don

  Don,

Take a look at the information in the "Noisy K3" article on my website
www.w3fpr.com.
That should give you a guide to setting the AGC.
