Your on the right track for comfortable listening.  I usually have the rear 
audio out feeding a pc and looking at it with one of the many free spectrum 
analyser apps.  Turn rf gain down to the visual noise level (noise floor), 
and then back up a bit.  That in conjunction with proper agc action and you 
are in business.
