K3 S-Meter

[DL5OCD]

Hello together,
i observed when i activate the peak-hold function of the S-Meter that one "bar" is added to the signal (the hold dot). So the meter shows abt 5db too much...anyone observed this issue ?
I use 4.60 FW, SMTR MD set to abs.

Yes, noticed the same a couple days ago when running the s-meter
calibration in absolute mode. Using 4.61 here.

Running 4.58 and mine does the same.  I set the service monitor down to
S-9, and then set the P3 to -73 dBm, but finally decided I didn't like
peak-hold, and put it back.

OK, many thanks. So it seems more like a bug than a feature...i`ll forward this to k3-support.

Any particular reason why it is so? It still looks like a (very minor, "cosmetic" as cisco like to call them) bug

Hi Eric,
thanks for jump in here. Gary already contacted me and told me to do the whole recalibration when i want to use the peak-hold function. I decided now to not use this feature because when i want to switch it off i`ve to do that again...

73 and many thanks for the fast support...

HI

I also don't use it for the same reason. Of course, if this can be improved that's fine !...
