Why RT-718/FRC-93's, which are also know as KWM2A's do.



Don't those count as "conversions" - i.e. civilian sets "badged" with
military nomenclature?

I'll try asking again... what radios designed by / for the military (as
opposed to rebadged civilian sets) have carrier meters marked in S Units?

David - you've got a ton of mil stuff... what has meters in S units?

best regards...


If you are going to couch the question that way, the answer is
none. Military sets have db meters. There are only a handfull
of general purpose receivers that would fit your requirement, and
most of those that you think of as purely military were also sold
to ham and civilian markets... granted, not as the primary market,
though.

The "S"-Meter is a ham invention. The "S1-9" part of the scale was an
attempt to quantize the "S" part of the R-S-T signal reporting system.
Where R is readability on a scale of 1-5, S is signal strength on a
scale of 1-9, and T is tone, on a scale of 1-9.
