[Elecraft] Bigger K3 S-meter

[w6jd at comcast.net]

I'm not sure that I understand the fascination of larger S meters, I
totally ignore mine. But back in the days of my ill spent youth, when
radios glowed in the dark, I owned a Hallicrafters SX-96 which had
an S meter that must have occupied at least a quarter of the front
panel, and went to "80 db over 9" if my memory serves me well.
Man could you give great signal reports.."ur 70 db over 9 but
pls agn ur name" and S-9 meant that the other station was audible.
