[Elecraft] CW Mush

[David Gilbert]

What are your AGC settings?  I have a K3 with the new synths and I use 
almost the least AGC possible ... THR = 12 and SLP = 000.

AGC creates non-linearity, the non-linearity is most pronounced at the 
signal level where it kicks in, and non-linearity creates mixing.  Do 
the math for the sum and difference frequencies when you have multiple 
signals very close to each other within the receive passband.
