Re: [Flexradio] S Meter minimum
Left vs right hand hydrospanner . If I recall the class I took at Chanute Field in the winter of 1963-64 correctly the determining factor is which hemisphere you are in, north or south as it is related to coriolis effect.

Wouldn't it be better to use a Software Defined Wrench? That way there's no problems with no compatibility at least until the next software revision...

There is a small plastic screw near the bottom of the meter, make sure that it is adjusted to zero with the power off. 73 Ross K9COX -Original Message- From: Bill Feldkamp Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 10:06 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] S Meter minimum Hi Matthew and Steve, KJ4TN’s message about the S3 noise level minimum on the Flex 3K describes my experience as well.
