[Elecraft] S meter differences from K3 to P3

The difference is likely due to any averaging you have dialed in. It was 
driving me nuts for a while until I figured out that the K3 S-meter 
seems to read the peak value of a signal while the P3 will show the 
averaged amplitude.  I programmed "PEAK" onto one of the PN# buttons on 
the P3 and when I tap it the two amplitudes are in very good agreement 
with the default calibration.  I have a new enough K3 (#4113) that it 
has the higher IF output designed for the P3.
