[K2] S meter readings

[Sergey Dan]

Do I need to see S meter reading changes when choosing between "ATT" and "PRE" ?

Thanks

Sergey,

You can have the K3 S-meter either way you want.  In ABS (absolute)
mode, there will be no change with use of the attenuator and preamp.
In the NOR (normal) position, there will be a change.

On the K2, yes if it is adjusted properly.

Yes, you should definitely seen significant S meter reading changes when cycling through the Attenuator to the Preamp.
