You may want to consider performing the S-meter calibration procedure described on page 51 of the owner's manual, which is distinct from the RF Gain calibration procedure performed by the DSP firmware with an assist from the K3 Utility.

I calibrated both main and sub receivers. My S-meter now reads S9 at 50 uV with ATT on, PRE off. I am not sure if that was the intended result or not. Since I normally operate this way it works for me. I am not set up with S meter in normal mode, not absolute...
