Doesn't an S-meter perform the same function?



It depends on how you define function!
To tune a dial and watch that green eye close up is ... well ...
nostalgic.



So paint the S-meter needle and 60 dB over S9 a
phosphorescent green color? I'm sure the display
on my IC-756pro could have been programmed to
simulate a "Cat's Eye Tuner". Maybe someone should
notify ICOM that it should be a feature? :-)


Cecil, did you ever own or use an original GOONEY Box?

Turn the dials ... watch the green eye ... !

I don't have any meaningful tuning dials or functions on my IC-706MK IIg, IC-746
or IC-756 Pro III.
