K3 - S-meter zero

k6dgw
For the first time in years, I have no antenna connected to my K3 in our
new digs, and the S-Meter sits at S3.  What's going on and how do I get
it to zero with no input?

I'd research this in the manual and Fred's book, if I knew where they
were, we're still finding stuff in boxes that haven't been unpacked.

73,

1st thing is to set the RF gain to max,
check in:

  Config SMTR OF 024
            SMTR SC 014
            SMTR MD  NOR  when pre amp or attn is used it will effect the S meter,
                                    if you don't want it to change set to ABS
