[Elecraft] K3 AGC usage question

[Mike]

AF LIM is set to 12. Shouldn't that be enough?

I wouldn't characterize the signal as strong. It doesn't make any 
difference what the AF gain is, as  long as it's loud enough to hear. 
Even the beep when I turn AGC back on is raspy.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to get a handle on 
whether it's pilot error or something else. And how to fix it either way.
