[TenTec] Corsair vs. Orion (weak signal)

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Now wouldn't a IMD birdie that is zero beat produce nothing as far as an 
audible signal is concerned?  The only thing is that an "on frequency" 
signal might capture the AGC which would reduce the level of the desired 
signal.
