[Elecraft] KX3 S-Meter calibration

[Edward Dickinson III]

If the KX3 is like the K3, there is an SMTR MD setting for AbS (absolute).
This can help provide the same S-Meter reading regardless of preamp or
attenuation.  Hope that helps.

I have verified that my KX3 S-Meter is calibrated to s9 under -73db signal

WITH preamplifier active. Without preamplifier, in normal mode, signal is

about s6.

There is a smtd md funcition that shoud take an avarage signal but it is

still inactive (TBD) with the latest firmware installed.

 

Is there a particular reason to take s9 with preamplifier active ?

I would prefer to have s9 in normal mode (pre off) but seems there is no

way to have this.

 

Is there any way to recalibrate the s-meter signal in this way ?

 

tnks in advance
