Dave indicates that the problem occurred when the pileup consisted of four
or five loud stations. This leads me to wonder if the cause is the K3
hardware AGC threshold being too low, even after the mod introduced two
years ago.

If gain were throttled (e.g., via ATT on, PRE off, reduced RF Gain), wouldn't AGC Threshold be effectively raised?
