Well, sorta kinda.  If the unwanted signal gets in  and pumps the AGC, then
the DSP might knock down the signal but won't be able to  do anything about the
AGC pumping.  Then, you won't hear the signal if it  is weak.  That is the
whole issue of the DSP being in or out of the AGC  loop and it generated a
mountain of controversy with the Orion when TT moved the  DSP to within the loop.

I believe I read the K3 did not follow that  mistake but a little
clarification from the gurus who know a whole lot more  about this issue would be helpful.
