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

________________

Just don't expect that the S-meter so "calibrated" is reading the real value
of the incident field arriving at the rx antenna. It won't be, unless that
calibration includes (exactly) the real-world performance of the receiving
antenna system at each frequency, including line loss, local reflections,
and other factors.

Otherwise the reading still will be given in fairly meaningless, relative
terms -- the same as S-units.
