Tim,
 
As you tune around the AM broadcast band you will want to keep in mind this 
excellent paper by Jack Smith, K8ZOA: 
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/peak_and_average_agc_and_am_mode.htm .
 
The end result of these measurements is that you should disable the K3's AGC 
while listening to AM BC. It sounds so much better. Jack answered a nagging 
question I had had for years concerning why AM BC sounded so poor on ham 
receivers, and now I know why.
 
Regards,
 
Al  W6LX
