[Elecraft] K3. RX too sensitive for me - S-meter/RFgain/absolute mode...

[VK7JB]

"If one has chosen "absolute" s-meter performance which is already 
un-analog, it would be nice to see the input level regardless of the 
RF gain setting, and perhaps just slow "plink" only the top segment 
that would be "covered" with the analog convention. "


Exactly my view, Guy.  "Absolute" on the K3 is only partly "Absolute".
My point is that other designers have implemented true "absolute" S-meter
function and it works well.  On my TT Eagle 599, I can ride the RF gain,
play with ATT and PRE to my heart's content and still see the input level on
the s-meter, uninfluenced by my fiddling.

I'm looking forward to being able to do the same in "absolute mode" on my K3
one day.
