Don,
AGC was on,  T7 is 5:20, crystals are the -S flavor.

With a -130 dBm signal, Spectrogram shows the signal about 20 dB above the noise floor, so I guess I have nothing to worry about.  Can easily hear the signal with headphones.  This graph is with AGC on, and the AGC off chart looks about the same.  

-130 dBm signal 10.1 MHz with AGC on

I will go back to the original problem I was chasing:  on transmitter tests, the K2 draws about 50% more current than it should.  I am guessing that I need to work on the transformers in the PA circuit.
Thanks,
