[Elecraft] K3 s-meter calibration parameters and flickering S1...

[David Pratt]

John - I would say that if it is just flickering on and off that is 
exactly right. It does at least show that the receiver is live and the 
residual noise is registering on the S-meter.  Perhaps if you shorted 
ANT1 to ground the flickering might reduce.

Personally, if my S-meter did not flicker, I would wonder whether my 
receiver is working ;-)
