Don is absolutely correct.
As many may know, I do assist hams with issues associated with many
different products here and elsewhere. The biggest issue I encounter is
the ham that says " well somebody told me to.... blah blah blah blah
......and it would work best". In many cases, nothing could be further
from the truth. I find today that many hams are more prone to have and
use old school thinking and methods trying to be used with today's
radios. I find this applies to many facets of ham radio equipment as
being used today.
As I've told many, if you expect the radio to operate like a Kenwood,
ICOM or Yaesu, it darn well better say Kenwood, ICOM or Yaesu on the
front panel. Otherwise stated, learn to use the Elecraft radio
correctly in order to attain optimum performance, for indeed they do not
operate like the others.

Those old operating habits (ride the RF Gain and set the AF Gain at
max) are still being used by some operators, but it is not necessary
for modern receivers which use product detectors - the K2 is included
in that list.
