Wayne,
Just as a data point, in case you don't know -- the Omni-VII features a
calibrated S-meter (50 uV = S9, 1 S-unit = 6 dB) on all bands, and it always
reads the same for a given signal level regardless of the state of pre-amps
or attenuators switched in/out. IOW, the calibration is based (always) on
the nominal signal level at the 1st mixer. I personally think this is the
"right" way to do an S-meter, but the market hasn't spoken on this. :-)
Don't know if Omni-VII owners will like this or not. My guess is it will
produce "low" (by comparison to other current radios) S-meter readings on
6M, for example.

Is the K3's S meter calibrated, or is there some provision for
storing a S meter calibration table?
There are S-meter ZERO and SCALE menu entries, although the default
settings will usually result in 50 microvolts = "S9", the most
widely-accepted standard.
