[Elecraft] K3 S Meter

[Lyle Johnson]

The manual is correct if you wish to use "nor" mode for the S Meter.

If you wish to use ABS mode, then you need set PRE OFF and ATT OFF 
before adjusting CONFIG: SMTR SC and CONFIG:SMTR OF.  In this case, with 
no sig gen attached, the lowest S Meter bar may flicker or be on.  On 
both of my K3s (S/N 00002 and S/N 03036) the results are SC 14 and OF 20.

If you have a sig gen, and if you haven't already done so, you should 
run the RF GAIN calibration procedure in K3 Utility *before* performing 
S Meter calibration.  Details for this are in K3 Utility Help.
