You are not alone regarding problems with ANF (NTCH) distortion of SSB 
received signals.  Too bad the problem continues unaddressed - as it is 
the single remaining receive issue I have with my K3.

There is a thread about it here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg136366.html

A couple of responses were actually explanatory and helpful - others 
were laughable detractors. The thread is worth reading. Some responders 
say they have no problem with the distortion and find it acceptable. I 
personally do not accept it, as it detracts from an otherwise nearly 
perfect receiver.

As an interim fix, I suggest you reduce the AGC SLP to a low number, 
such as 2 or 3 (the settings I use).
