[Elecraft] AF Limiter (was Recommended AGC settings for separation of signalsin CW pile-ups)

[Dave Hachadorian]

I have read K3NA's article very closely, and tried very hard to
make it work for me.

I should have mentioned that the headset I am using is based on 
this hearing protector:

It is fundamentally essential to use very high isolation
headphones to
achieve K3NA's dynamic range goal (i.e., to hear the weakest and
strongest
signals with AGC OFF without kicking in the limiter).  It IS
achievable.
It's not a matter of sensitivity.
