Mike,

If you do find it is AGC that is producing that 'unwanted sideband' 
response, you may want to investigate your AGC slope and threshold settings.
To give you some guidance, look at my webpage www.w3fpr.com article on 
"Noisy K3".  I would suggest that you set those AGC parameters in CW or 
SSB mode to suit your preferences.
