A  fellow club member commented on how his K3 S meter behaved in a
strange way when it was set SMTR MD = Abs. On investigation I
found that mine does the same.

On all bands SSB with the antenna input terminated with 50 ohms, I
found that the S Meter reading can go up when the noise level goes
down.

Situation...

ATT = ON with PRE = ON gives a S 2-3 reading.

Leaving  ATT = ON  and switching PRE=OFF,  the audio noise level
goes down, however the S meter now gives a S 4-5 reading !

With SMTR MD =nor, everything is as it should be.

Anyone else see this ?
