[Elecraft] K3 - key clicks on receive

[Don Wilhelm]

Lee,

It is entirely possible for a station with bad key clicks to produce 
energy for 2 kHz or more either side of the carrier, so the increased 
sensitivity of the K3 may allow you to hear those keyclicks as signals 
(they really are signals) even though you have the filters tightened up 
- it depends on the nature of the other station's keyclicks.
OTOH, it may have something to do with the AGC as others have pointed 
out.   You may want to alter the AGC PLS menu entry to see if it makes 
any difference.
