[Elecraft] Main Menu--ATTEN function

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

See the firmware release notes for MCU 5.35. This is MAIN: ATTN and for 
the K3S it is valid.  For the K3, it is fixed at 10dB.
It is the amount of attenuation that is inserted when the Attenuator is 
turned on.  It does not change the normal operation of the K3, but does 
allow different levels of attenuation for the K3S - it is a per band 
setting.

It appears to be a new item from a firmware upgrade, as it is not shown in my users manual. It is positioned between ALARM and LCD ADJ. It is set at 10 db and is not adjustable from the front panel. When trying to adjust this, I get a message of N/A. I assume that means "not adjustable".
