Thanks all for your comments. It's nice to get so much feedback so fast! While I'm not very concerned about this, I do like to use my S meter to give the Strength report and believe that an S7 signal should read S7 even if the RF gain is turned down a bit (just for info, I set the S meter to Absolute and have PRE and ATT off, don't have a Sub rcvr installed). I've heard many perfectly readable signals that sounded like they were S9 but were, to my surprise, an S3 or S5. Except for contests I like to send and receive accurate strength reports.
Last night I ordered an XG2 and will align RF gain and the S meter when it arrives. I'll post again once I've completed the alignment. Till then I'll be on the air enjoying my awesome K3!
