[Elecraft] New P3 "meters"

[Don Wilhelm]

There is already a high resolution "S-Meter" on the P3.
It is the amplitude of the signal display.  It can be set to read either 
S-Units or dBm, and it can be calibrated.
For comparison measurements, such as between two or more antennas, the 
relative amplitude is sufficient and there is no real need for precise 
calibration.

There is also a feature on the K3 that will do relative measurements for 
you - the Alternate VFO B display of AFV gives the true RMS voltage of 
the K3 AF (without regard for the AF Gain setting) and the dBV will 
indicate the relative deviation from that AFV setting.

I know that will not satisfy those who are seeking something that is 
curved and looks more like the S-meter on boatanchor rigs, but there are 
software implementations for those who desire such a display.
