[Elecraft] K2 S-meter adjustment

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

The CAL S LO and CAL S HI values are as you observed.

Turn the RF Gain to full clockwise, and remove the antenna.  Turn the 
preamp on.  Adjust CAL S LO first so there are no bargraph LEDs illuminated.
Then tune in an S-9 signal (preamp on or off, your choice), and adjust 
cal S HI for an S-9 indication in the bargraph.  Usually that value will 
be between 23 and 19.

73,
