[Elecraft] K3 S meter vs P3 S scale

[Dave, G4AON]

On a steady carrier (i.e. from a signal generator), both the P3 and K3 
should read the same. My P3 reads much lower on actual signals than the 
K3, it is especially noticeable on SSB signals. Calibrating on a signal 
generator doesn't alter the lower reading of a P3 display on SSB 
signals. The peak reading facility of the P3 goes some way to overcome 
the lower reading but has an infinite decay... if it had an adjustable 
decay (or better still the normal display had a peak/decay setting) then 
the display would be far more useful.
