Icom R75 receiver, Signal Strength Meter
 

Thst's neat the way John Wayne made that Appaloosa horse back up/go in
reverse gear in the El Dorado movie.I need to go in forward gear to my
porcelain throne and read my latest issue of Popular Science magazine.My
leggs always go to sleep when I do that.

Can one of you radio eggheads explain exactly what "DBm" measures? I
think it means decibels per meter, but that still tells me nothing. Is
it "meter" as in wavelength?

Hopefully it's in minus units as it refers to decibels above a
milliWatt.

I would like to add an analogue signal strength meter to my Icom R75
receiver. Has anyone managed to do this, and what's involved? I'm
looking to take a 'real' indication of signal strength from the AGC
line, not just monitoring the audio output.

Thanks

This might be something you could adapt to your Icom, tho' it is made
for specific Yaesu rigs...

Thanks. Milliwatts makes sense. I must have been thinking of millivolts
per meter, which I think is how broadcast station signal coverage areas
are measured. Or maybe it's microvolts per meter.
