Hi Ed..    I just did a check using the XG3.   tap the disp button to display AFV
I do not see a drop in voltage untill I turn the RF knob to about the 3:00 o'clock position.....
so it seams that untill the RF knob gets to there,  there is no gain reduction untill we get past that point.
and at the point I start to see a reduction of AFV,  the S Meter just starts to do its dip, it will go down a small bit more and then start to climb up as  I reduce the gain more....
