For RTTY, AGC should be Off, another conflict with conventional thinking.

Ed is correct on this, but turning AGC off on the K3 causes problems with loud signals due to the hard-limiting and distorting action of the AF Limiter. A better approach with the K3 is to use fast AGC, AGC SLP=0, and AGC THR as high as possible without causing a sound card overload warning on the loudest signals. For RTTY, with my usual gain settings, I find that AGC THR = 17 works well.
