In addition to the hard limiter Elecraft provided threshold and slope controls 
in the AGC system.

Manually riding the "RF" gain ensures that a very weak signal is not affected by a strong signal that is also inside the I.F. passband. Of course that means your ears could be blasted by that strong signal, which is why Wayne included a hard limiter that can be enabled to chop such a signal down to size, making it no louder than the weak signal we want to copy.
