Hi all,

In my view the only "problem" with the K3 being "hissy" is the AGC threshold. On 20m and below even with AGC threshold set to the maximum (008), just the atmospheric noise is at or above the threshold and this is indeed tiring to listen to. I solve the problem by turning down the RF gain; I notice many others instead turn the AGC slope way up (actually low number), which has a similar effect for strong signals. Very high on my wish list is for at least another 5dB increase in the AGC threshold. The present range 002-008 is just not enough.
