[Elecraft] K2 - Which signal's level does the K2's controller watch when scanning?

Just to see that I'm reading the schematic correctly: V_SMTR is in the 
IF stage, after AGC, so the crystal filters are in effect when scanning, 
but the audio filter (KAF2/KDSP2) is not part of the "loud enough to 
stop scanning" circuit.  It looks like the audio filter, mute, and audio 
amplifier are pretty much the only thing that's "out of the loop" for 
scanning.  That means, for example, that twisting the audio gain knob 
will not affect scanning.  Have I got it right?
