[Elecraft] K3 Sub Rcvr S-Meter Reads Full Scale - Fixed

[W6NEK]

Hi All,
I just want to follow up on my Sub Rcvr S-Meter issue.
I sent a email to K3support at elecraft.com.
I got a response from Gary Surrency within an hour.  He suggested I re-run 
the Calibrate RF Gain procedure in the K3 Utility.  Using my trusty XG-1 and 
the K3 Utility both receiver S-Meters were calibrated within a few minutes. 
Fast and easy fix!

As always, Elecraft support is quick to respond.  Outstanding service and 
support.  Thanks again Gary!

Thanks for the bandwidth,
Frank - W6NEK
K3 S/N 312
