The K3S has 5, 10 and 15 dB of ATT. You have to select MENU (NOT CONFIG MENU), rotate VFO B to ATTN then rotate VFO A to select 5, 10 or 15. When you select the ATT button you will have the amount of ATT set in MENU.
The triple level of ATT only applies to the main receiver. The sub-receiver still only has the one level of ATT of 10 dB.
You are correct that the K3 has only one level of ATT. 10 dB in both the main and sub-receivers.
73,
