[Elecraft] K2 S-Meter Sensitivity

I set my S-meter according to the ORIGINAL standards, not those more recent
Hallicrafters/Collins/National etc. standards.

Tune in a signal that "sounds" like it's S-9.

Set the CAL function so the "meter" reads S-9.

That fixed mine. Ever since when I hear a signal that I judge to be, say,
S-3, I peek at the "meter" (if I happen to have the AGC on) and, by golly,
the S-meter on my K2 is usually right.

And if it's "wrong" I don't care because my ears know how strong it is
anyway.
