I don’t think there is a one AGC setting that covers all.
I am using these settings when working a pile up here on NA045. My goal is to keep as many of the calling stations as I can at different levels. This helps separate the calls so I can work the strongest, “loudest”, and move to the next. For me this works great to keep the rate up but when it comes time to hunt for mults I smooth the AGC back a little.
AGC DCY Soft
AGC HLD .5
AGC PLS nor
AGC SLP 2
AGC THR 17
AGC F 120
AGC S 20
AGC F 120
AGC S 20
Working from an Island might be different than other locations.
