Thanks Tom and Don-

It makes sense that relatively speaking as you turn down the RF gain, 
the signals that still come through must be stronger so I guess the S 
meter compensates to try to give an accurate idea of the strength.

The only other rig I have ever used, the HW-8, has left me ill-prepared 
for all the goodies that the K2 is about to spoil me with, so most of 
my questions are pretty basic. Thanks for the guidance!

I will definitely re-calibrate my S meter next time the radio is 
together.
