[Elecraft] K3 - key clicks on receive

I think Dave gave a very good suggestion.  I do not have a problem with key
clicks from nearby stations and that is one of the great improvements over
my 756 Pro which is very sensitive to things like that. Unless the key click
is already in the actual pass band I don't think you should be bothered by
them.

Check that you have the menu item "AGC PLS" set to "nor" (the default),
the K3 AGC overreacts to electrical pulses (such as switching on a
light) if that item is set to "OFF". The same might occur with stations
radiating key clicks.

Has anyone else noticed the K3 seems very susceptible to received stations
with key clicks? If the station is strong, I can hear the clicks 2 khz away
even with the 400 hz filter in line and DSP even narrower. No help from NR
or NB. No big deal, but I've noted this several times.
