[Elecraft] K3 Questions

> 1. How many volts is the mic bias?

Rear Panel: 8V when BIAS is on.
Front Panel: 5V when BIAS is on.
Front Panel Mic Jack pin 6: 8V always on.

> 2. Why does the filter selection always end in 5 (2.65, 2.75, 2.85 & etc)?

The filter system is currently handled in 50 Hz steps.  Might change in a 
future firmware rev.
  
> 3. Can the Absolute S Meter function be set to ignore the RF Gain setting?

It always takes the IF AGC control voltage into account.  Since that voltage 
could be generated by a signal or the RF Gain control, the S Meter assumes it 
is a signal and applies it to the calculation.
