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 Geoff G3UCK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
