[Elecraft] K2 S meter

[Howard W. Ashcraft]

I set up my K2 S meter per the manual.  It appeared to work "normally" with S9+ readings on loud signals.  I then borrowed an X-gen and used it to "calibrate" the S-Meter readings.  The "calibrated" settings were much lower than the "per manual" settings, i.e., a signal that was S-9 would read, after calibration, about S-5 or 6.  I don't have a method for measuring the X-gen output.  I do know that the K2 easily picks up the 1 uv low signal used for sensitivity testing.  I will probably just go back to the earlier settings, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience?
