That is a very interesting thing. I have also homebrewed receivers. They 
are far from perfect but I love them, hi.

That makes sense. Once generated they would be  increased by the K3 "AGC 
pump" How can I test that?. Can the toroid  inside the antenna T tunner 
be the culprit? Any ideas to test will be welcome.
Anyway, Kok tests so that AGC-F makes IMD.
