Mike,
An added note - when experimenting with the AGC settings, do take heed
of the information on how to evaluate the results of your changes -
listen between pauses in the signal rather than listening to the noise
on the band. Listening to the noise level without an intermittent
signal will lead you in the wrong direction.

Mike,
I don't know if it will help in your situation, but take a look at my
webpage www.w3fpr.com article on "Noisy K3" for some guidance to
setting the AGC parameters. Yes, changing the slope may be helpful,
but you will have to experiment a bit.
Turning the preamp off and perhaps the attenuator on may help as
well. Then too, if you are running with noise reduction turned on,
that could create some 'funny situations' that are similar to what you
are hearing - try with NR turned off.

I have a ongoing nuisance. On USB it seems high voices will
pop/crack just like if AGC was off and hitting the AF limiter.
Reducing RF Gain clears it up.
Turning agc threshold down has no effect.
Is there a agc setting that might correct this? I haven't tried
slope which is 15 (max).
I get the qth list as daily digest and yahoo as individual email.
It's much easier to respond on yahoo. I've posted to both.
Thanks
