Will there be S-meter correction for Pre 2 in ABS mode?

Hi Ted,

Preamp 2 is in fact the one on the KXV3B. So any K3 running the new firmware will allow preamp 2 use on 17 and 15 meters. The NF improvement is significant (3 and 6 dB, respectively).

The firmware is being field tested now.

73,
Wayne
