Have you tried adjusting AGC THR? Increasing the level increases the point at which AGC starts to operate and should stop weak signals being reduced to the level of noise.

It's puzzling that the S-meter decreases when AGC is off but I think that is normal. My K3 does the same, but the audio out increases dramatically when AGC is off so it is working, it is only the meter that is affected.
