I've reviewed the archives and read several different recommendations for changing AGC settings, ranging from changes the SLP from 4 to 15. OTOH, the manual lists the SLP, THR, and PLS settings as "advanced," suggesting they should be changed with caution.

Should I make any adjustments to the AGC config parameters?  I have a fairly high noise level at my urban QTH.  With the SSB filter in, the S-meter sits about S-6 and with the 400 Hz CW filter at S-3 or so.
