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

The advantage of controlling the gain manually is not an "old wife's tale".
Rather, it's clearly just a technique that is not for everyone.
AGC will reduce the gain according to the strongest signal inside the I.F. passband.
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.
