[Elecraft] K3 - RF gain sweet spot

[Fred Jensen]

FWIW: K3 #642 does it too.  I never mess with the RF gain so I never 
noticed it before.  Full gain on mine is at 5 o'clock.  S-meter drops 
until 4 o'clock, then starts climbing.  What I do NOT notice is an 
improved S/N on a very weak signal from my service monitor at the 
S-meter minimum.  Signal goes down too.  Not sure, but my "thinker" 
thinks I expected that.
