Having calibrated the K3 S meter and the P3 display with my XG2, I have 50
microvolts equal to S9 and -73dbm (whether or not the preamp is on).
However, on 2m (K144XV) there is a discrepancy between the K3 S
meter and the P3. I believe Alan has told us on the reflector that on 2m
S9 on the P3 is -93dbm in accordance with the IARU standard, but I also
believe that when using the K144XV the K3 S meter still regards S9 as -73dbm
which is different by a factor of 10.
Consequently K3 S meter readings are lower on 2m than they should be. Today,
for example, I had a 2m qso where the two stations I was working were about
S7 on the P3 but S3/4 on the K3 S meter. Is anything going on in the
Elecraft f/w academy to address this?
73 to all
