As you back off the RF Gain (CCW), the minimum signal that can be
copied and that registers on the S Meter is a higher value. With the
RF Gain set fully CW (greatest gain), you're copying the weakest
signal the rig is capable of. These differences are shown by the S
Meter.
You should run RF Gai
Yeah, this is normal behavior.
Same thing happens on my 857D and all other's radios (i hear).
You didn't do anything wrong.

This is typical of HF receivers from years past-- meter indicates
increasing AGC as you reduce the RF gain; only stronger signals will
flicker above the meter's reduced sensitivity indication.
Supposedly this could be changed in a SDR radio. Some have requested
that the meter not respond in this t
Exactly the way it should be, Arlen. You do NOT have a problem.

I’ve just completed building my K3/10 (S/N 8115)!!! The PA3 and sub-receiver
are sitting here but not built/installed yet. Everything seems to work fine -
completed the TX gain calibration successfully, and the filter setup too, of
course. However, I’m puzzled by the how the S-meter is behaving.
