[Elecraft] K3 receiver desensing on CW during contest

[Brian Alsop]

Jim,

Ditto here.  #1129.  AGC slope= 13, AGC THR =8.  AGC set to fast.  Never 
touched the RF gain control.

I was totally amazed to be able copy weak ones under strong ones within 
the passband.
Experienced none of the mushing reported here.

However,  when I first got the K3,   I did manage to set the K3 AGC 
characteristics so that noise and all signals appeared to be at the same 
audio level.  This made it difficult to separate signals.   The rig 
sounded "flat".
