I was adjusting the LIN OUT level while running CW Skimmer this morning and the volume from the K3 suddenly went very loud. When I checked, I found that the AGC had been disabled.

Upon investigation there appears to be an issue with software polling the K3 while in the menu. I can almost guarantee that the AGC will be disabled if I go into the menu while a program is connected and polling the K3. You might wait a few seconds or a few minutes before it happens, though.

I haven't had this occur when not in the menu. nor with the menu selected but no CAT software running. I'm using the latest beta (3.57) and a serial connection of 38400 baud.
