[Elecraft] [K3] - Sub receiver S-meter

When B SET is pressed the S-meter is tied to the sub receiver. But how does one go about calibrating the sub rx's S-meter? Is it even possible? The User Guide seems to imply so. Al  W6LX __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Yes, using a sound pressure meter I can see a peak around 570 and one down around 330 or so . These are only about 3 db variations however. Setting the speaker on the desktop makes a *HUGE difference* in loudness...Maybe 10 db or so. The reflection from the surface helps greatly and this is true

We're talking about two different things. What OK1RP may be hearing is the ATU switching its relays when he first transmits in a band segment that requires new LC settings. The firmware attempts to do that between CW elements (in RX mode). This should be extremely rare. (If it's happening more

As a general rule, if you measure the DC resistance at the connector on the mike and it is less than 2K ohms, it is likely dynamic. If it is 10K or more, it is likely an electret element.If it is near infinity then likely there is a DC blocking capacitor in the circuit. The R values

Petr, Yes, Wayne' explanation was that the PA Temp is sampled between characters in CW, so if one uses QSK and listens closely, you can hear the gaps in the audio when the K3 returns to receive. You may find a change in a firmware upgrade coming soon, but I don't know when. 73, Don W3FPR
