Jack,
I'm not sure these are the best settings either, but here's what I do. To
me, AGC Slope works best at 1:10 so I leave it there. On SSB, my front
panel AGC button is set to Prog, which translates to Hang 0, Decay 10 dB/s
and Threshold 1.00 uV. On the Filtr menu, all of the optional roofing
filters (I have them all too) are enabled and Xtal filter is set to Auto.
With
the DSP filter set to 2750, that would auto-select the 6 kHz roofing filter,
which may be your problem. If you set the DSP filter to 2400, that should
auto-select the 2.4 kHz roofing filter instead.
I generally use the 6 kHz roofing filter for 160-meter CW (tnx, Bob K8IA,
for that tip) but 2.4 kHz for SSB.
Hope this helps.

Hey Ray,
Not sure how well this is going to work. I'm at work now, just checking
for replies via the archives on this work station.
OK, here's your answers. I have all the filters installed. It does not do
it on cw. It mostly occurs on 75m, at night, when lots of strong signals
and QRM are around. And it's not like it's happening constantly, just
occasional popping in the audio, if very strong signals are on frequency or
nearby.
I usually keep the filter on ssb set at 2750 hz. I'm thinking maybe I need
to cut it below 2400, and let that roofing filter kick in. Will try it
tonight.
And the hardware nb is off. Using nr helps, and moving the agc slope from
flat to one of the other 2 settings eliminates it. But I prefer to keep
agc slope at the flat setting, so I'm hoping someone else has experienced
this and found a solution other than the agc slope adjustment.
I would think that adjusting the agc menu settings (decay, hang,
threshold) would do it, but I haven't found the right combo yet.
