[Elecraft] KX3 S-Meter calibration

[Edward Dickinson III]

.not a very careful read on my part.please pardon.

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
