I use different software / hardware than can go arbitrarily narrow. AGC is always bad news for any automatic monitioring. It kills any record of the levels over time and is only there as a convenience for QSO type operating, not for scientific experiment. I meant to fix up the loop for listening at the weekend rather than using the big E field antenna, as others seem to getting much better copy from VA3LK than me, but got distracted by higher frequency projects so will try over the next few days to get the 1.2m loop waterproofed and set up.
