Once calibrated to an accurate reference, LP-PAN provides an extremely 
accurate S-Meter in dBm, in addition to the display.  +/- 2dB absolute 
accuracy can be obtained by using an Elecraft XG-2 mini  module as the 
reference for calibration. The linearity is better than 1 dB over a 
115dB range. This is independent of any K3 AGC settings.
