A couple of years ago there was some correspondence on the reflector about whether an S unit is 6db or 4 db and there appears to be historical precedent for both but I have looked at the archive and can't find where it rested as far as the K3 is concerned. It occurred to me while recently re-calibrating my S meter with the XG2 that if, in accordance with the manual, you set S9 to be 50 microvolts and adopt 6 db per S unit the reading for 1 microvolt should be between S3 and S4 (S3 being 0.78 microvolts and S4 1.56 microvolts by my calculations). For practical purposes S3 is probably close enough rather than "about S2 or 3" as shown in the manual. Or is it more complicated than that? My arithmetic is not up working out how many S units one microvolt would be at 4db per S unit but I suspect it would be further away from S2 or 3. Anyone care to comment?
