None of those things helps. I can reduce my LINE OUT gain to 1 and still see the 3rd harmonic easily on the waterfall. I've had many rigs and this is the first to do this. There was a thread about this not long ago. Do a nabble search on "ghost". There is also some distortion in the speaker output but I'm told that this is a separate amplifier.

I hope there is a cure for this as it's frustrating listening to CW with
this sort of distortion.

There are three things you should do.

1) Make sure that the AGC is on, and that the CONFIG AGC settings are at the
defaults.

2) Reduce the LINEOUT GAIN (on the CONFIG menu) to a value less than about 4.
This prevents distortion that could occur in the output transformer.

3) Adjust the input gain of your computer so that you have enough signal for
the decoder to function, but not enough to cause distortion.

This should correct any problems.
