The AF Limiter in the K3 is designed to allow you to 
protect your hearing when you have the AGC off and gain 
cranked up to hear the signal buried in the noise just as 
your neighbor with his beam bore-sighted on your QTH and 
running the Alpha amplifier starts transmitting on that 
same frequency.

Note that the AF Limiter level is completely adjustable 
when AGC is OFF.  At its highest setting it clips just at 
the threshold that the audio amplifiers in the K3 
otherwise limit/clip.

In fact, when AGC is ON, the AF Limiter is still present 
but set to this highest level.

So, if it bothers you, please set it higher :-)

Enjoy!
