Low level signals are by definition closer to the noise. That would
also mean that there would be more stuff between CW bauds. Crisp
to some means that the artifacts which define the beginning and the
ends of a baud are there. The extreme artifact is a

The only time I heard mush on the K3 was when we had worked down the
pileup and only had very low strength guys all calling on the same
frequency (the packet/reverse beacon spotting phenomenon).
Multiple low level signals close in frequency is EXACTLY the situation

Does turning AGC off (but leaving RF GAIN at max) ever un-blur the
signals?

To be honest, I've never tried that very often. The one or two times I
have done so (AGC off, RF Gain at max) have not been pleasant
experiences. The only time I get a pileup of weak signals is working

Curiousity is getting the best of me...what transceiver(s) *don't* exhibit this

That would be really cool, David. My K3 replaced my TS-850 [which I
I think Mr. Harper has hit the nail squarely on the head

I think our expectations of the K3 are based largely on
what we migrated to the K3 from.
Its the same expectation that I have for transmit audio
