[Elecraft] Peculiarities of RF gain

K3 is fatiguing to listen on SSB for a long time because of lots of gain and
white noise on an empty band. One can try to reduce RF gain, but this works
differently in K3.

1. The range of RF gain control is limited.

2. While gain is reduced, the band noise does not seem to be reduced as
much. 

3. RF gain almost does not move S-meter so all S-meter readings with RF gain
reduced are incorrect.


Any ideas?
