Will the K4 S-meter be calibrated at *6 dB per S-unit* as per the ITU
Recommendation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_meter#IARU_Region_1_Technical_Recommendation_R.1>,
or 5 dB per S-unit, like the K3?

FYI, the P3 uses 6 dB per S-unit.

I hope the K4 will also use 6 dB, even if it means "breaking tradition"
with the legendary K3.
