Back to the AGC issues, Rob Sherwood of Sherwood Engineering has published a 
slide presentation on how poorly ALL DSP
receivers perform under QRN conditions due to the DSP handling of AGC:

I don't know which receivers he tested, but the problem he reported is simply caused by a too fast attack time of the AGC, which reacts to narrow spikes and pulses, lowering unnecessarily the gain of the receiver and causing a sort of pumping effect. In software that can be fixed quite easily. That the manufacturers of blazoned DSP radios haven't done it, that is a different discourse...
