When I turn the outer Notch dial on manual, on a given cw signal, nothing happens. When I place the Notch on Auto, (the light comes on), it makes the signal 'thump' and become unreadable. I have a full complement of cw filters.

No automatic notch filter can tell the difference between the CW you
want to copy and QRM. They are all tones. Manual you have to tune
something to put the notch on ONE QRM tone, I'm sure. At least that's
how its worked in my Corsair II and other receivers, like my 75S-3B.
