The hardware AGC cannot be turned off - it is a protection system for
the ADC that proceeds the DSP and must be protected from overload
otherwise garbage will be the result. Yes, the tunable notch will
attenuate signals that are within the passband of the roofing filter,
but only the roofing filter can eliminate those strong signals that
activate the hardware AGC. AGC off only applies to the DSP AGC. Apples
and Oranges!

don't forget the K3's tunable Notch, I have found it works quite well
to attenuate those offending S9 +30 signals. The width is just shy of
a JT65 signal, but if you make sure to cover the low end it works. You
can watch it working in the waterfall. I always run with the K3's AGC
off...ymmv
