K3 internal 2 meter xvtr s meter

[K5SM]

Weal (S1-S7 or so) signals don't show up at all on the K3 S meter when
using the internal 2mtr xvtr. This was true both before and after the
latest beta firmware change. Same signals generate a reasonable s meter
reading on the P3. The receiver is sensitive enough (compared to other
xvtr combos), the s meter just doesn't seem to be working.

Anyone have a suggestion?

73, Bob K5SM

I am finding the same here, Jeff, and it has been reported. But for me a
more important problem with the K144XV is the amount of frequency drift.
It would see there are several issues that need resolving.
