[Elecraft] [KX3] S Meter ABS mode

[Stephen Prior]

I would second that Geoff, I have mentioned it more than once on this list
as I think the ABS mode to be so sensible and useful on the K3 - who wants
an S meter which is only accurate some of the time, and by the very nature
of preamp and attenuator settings will, as a consequence inevitably vary
from band to band?   Maybe it's more difficult to implement on the KX3, but
I find it a little odd that it's not yet got to the top of the list.
