The graphs are dependent on gain level that is set in the rx.  If there's
any hope of alleviating pileup mush by raising Threshold level, I believe it
would be true (that stronger signals will raise audio level).

When I throttle the gain, I notice that lowering Threshold lowers audio
level of stronger signals.
