[Elecraft] K3 on-channel strong signal overload?

[pd0psb]

Quite a number of radios I know disable pre-amp and enable ATT when the AGC
voltage reaches a certain threshold. A handy way of extending the range of
total AGC with 30/40dB without having to reach for the knobs. Automatically
switched by firmware to catch the first unexpected RF hits.

It is also likely that the K3 Hardware AGC is maxed out and can 
lower the gain no more with the resulting of overload of the ADC.   
the K3 dynamic range (as good as 
it is) was exceeded - everything has its limits.
