[Elecraft] K3: AGC question

[John [K7SVV]]

While checking the problem that someone reported a little while ago with the 
S meter being stuck when the AGC is turned off, I noticed that  I don't hear 
any difference in the received signal when I turn AGC off and on.  I have 
tried it with an S5 CW signal, an S9 SSB signal, and 40 over 9 signal on the 
AM broadcast band.  I would expect each of these signals to much louder when 
the AGC is switched off but I hear no change at all.  Strange, it is like 
the AGC is not being turned off.  How about the rest of you fellows, what do 
you hear?
