An exception would be radios that have a signal strength meter in dBm,
which is an absolute scale.


Millivolts?


actually the palstar and the drake scales are in Decibels, while the
kenwoods scale is in Db at the top and millivolts at the bottom. also
before anyone asks my rf gain is fully clockwise on both the drake and
kenwood. the palstar doesn't have a rf gain control.


No. decibels where 0 dBm = 0.001 Watt or 1 milliwatt. However in a 50
ohm system the equivalent would be 225 millivolts.
