[Elecraft] K3 - Indicated Signal Level

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

In the a review of SDR receivers in the March 2008 RadCom (RSGB Magazine) 
is the following:

"the indicated signal level does not vary with the 
attenuator/gain/preselector setting.  To achieve this the control program 
keeps track of the gains and losses in the signal chain and always 
displays the exact signal level in dBm...."

I would certainly like my K3 to display an S-meter reading independent of 
ATT or PRE selection.  This would go some way to making S-meter reports 
more meaningful.  Currently switching on the attenuator, for example, 
reduces the other guys setup from a beam and kW amp to 100W and a dipole.

Regards,
