It doesn't matter where AGC HLD is set when using AGC-F.  It only functions with AGC-S per the manual:

"AGC HLD 0.00 SLOW AGC “hold” time. Specifies the number of seconds that the SLOW AGC
level is held after the signal drops. This can be used to reduce IMD caused by
traditional AGC, and is especially useful in “pileup” conditions, in some cases
making it unnecessary to turn AGC off. Also see AGC DCY, above."
