Hello, Twist
Dave was referring to 'S' units at the other end of the circuit. One
'S' unit is *supposidly* equal to 6 dB. 6 dB is an increase in power
of four times.
You know that, I know that, most knowledgable people know that, and I
suspect Twisty knows that as well. He just likes to argue for the sake
of arguing.
It's true that most CB "S" meters are far from linear, and consistent.
On the lower part of the scale, 1 "S" unit might be only 2 or 3 db. At
the upper end, 1 "S" unit might be closer to 10db. But the theory is
sound.
