And you've claimed your rig has an adjustment allowing calibration of
its S-meter to 6 dB per unit, but have never been willing to share the
type of rig or what the adjustment control designation is. Frankly, I
believe you're fabricating that, also.


This thread raises a possible marketing opportunity for someone. Yes,
it is quite unlikely, due to their non-linear construction, that an
analog meter would properly display S units in 6dB increments.

So..... someone ought to design a nice little digital unit that could
somewhat easily be hooked up to most radio Rx circuits, and be capable of
displaying S units or microvolts (selected at push of a button) and also
have a fully adjustable means to calibrate the S unit readings so that
they would, in fact, display in linear 6dB increments, and actual
microvolts at Rx input, too. Probably wouldn't sell cheap, but there
would be those hams who'd love to have such a device.

I suppose just a display for microvolts would suffice, though, and
that isn't hard to do at all. or just calibrate and re-paint the S meter
face to match...
