[Elecraft] P3 No Longer Matching K3 Signal Level

[Alan Bloom]

The P3 reads the K3 preamp and attenuator settings and adjusts its gain 
accordingly for accurate amplitude display.  The K3 can be set to either 
take ATT/PRE into account to keep the S meter reading the same, or not, 
depending on the SMTR MD menu setting.  If set to NOR, that can be one 
reason (among several) for differences in K3/P3 S-meter readings.
