And I think if the boys at VP6DX had understood this, they
wouldn't have had any complaint about the AGC on the K3.

You can tap DISP when any of these are displayed and a
short help message will scroll across the VFO B display.
AGC HLD (Hold?)
In slow AGC, this is the time that the AGC will hold its
most recent peak value before starting to decay.
AGC PLS (Pulse?)
This defines the width of a signal that is considered a
pulse (like ignition noise) instead of data (like a CW
dit). If a pulse is detected, the AGC rapidly decays back
to its previous value after the pulse ends. Otherwise,
the AGC assumes it was a signal and responds accordingly.
AGC SLP (Slope?)
This allows you to change the "flatness" of the AGC. Some
people like ift flat (very strong signals and moderately
weak signals all have the same loudness). Others prefer
that stronger signals drive the audio level alittle harder
than weaker signals.
AGC THR (Threshold?}
Determines the level below which signals do not drive the
AGC.
AGC-F (Fast)
Sets the decay rate of the AGC in Fast mode.
AGC-S (Slow)
Sets the decay rate of the AGC (after the Hold time) in
Slow mode.
Please use non engineering terms....
The best way to understand what these do is to play with
them, adjusting one parameter and operating the radio
until you are comfortable with what that parameter does,
then changing another, etc., until you know what they all
do. Then adjust them to optimize the K3 for your personal
preferences.
