[Elecraft] Re: K3 S meter

I think 3.5 to 4 dB per S-unit is closer to operator expectations, 
Bill, but I'm sure TT has their reasons.

We do agree on 50 uV = S9. Whether the S-meter compensates for the 
preamp and attenuator is an interesting subject; we might provide a 
menu entry to turn this on/off.
