fix(elecraft): calibrate the S-meter, and stop the SWR spike lingering
The S-unit mapping was provisional, waiting for a real radio. One arrived: side by side with a K3's own display, raw 5 reads S7 and raw 9 reads S9+20, so S9 sits near raw 6.5 — not 9 — and each raw step above it is worth ~8 dB. The old scale showed everything two S-units low. The SWR meter borrowed the power meter's needle inertia — hold the peak, then close a quarter of the gap per poll. The K3 throws a brief SWR spike as an FT8 frame ends, and that decay turned one bad sample into twelve seconds of red on the next transmission. SWR now holds the peak for the same 1.5 s and then snaps back to the live reading: it is a warning light, not a needle.
