[Elecraft] K3 in a cw pileup - needs work

[Barry N1EU]

If you simply raise AGC Threshold, you will have to lower AF Gain or risk
overly loud audio from stronger signals.  So what you would effectively be
doing is translating upwards the K3's dynamic range into higher rf levels. 
This is NOT good practice - you want to keep the dynamic range operating at
lower rf levels (thus all the talk of gain throttling).
