I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find any information about it.
In measuring the calibration of the S-meter in my KX3, I discovered it is extremely accurate, but only with the pre-amp engaged. With it engaged, S9 is indicated at exactly 50 uV (within the resolution of the display). It is also very accurate up and down the S-meter range, with 6dB corresponding exactly to an S unit. I would have expected it to be calibrated with both the pre-amp and attenuator disengaged. Is there some reason it's calibrated this way? Also, when the firuware is available that automatically accounts for engaging the pre-amp or attenuator, will the indication be referenced to the pre-amp on or off?
