Howard The K2 has a different total system gain on each band, with highest being on 40m. So, if you set your S meter to S9 with a certain input on 40m, then it will read lower on other bands for the same input level.
If I ever want to use the S meter seriously, such as in a single band contest, like 160m cw, say, then I calibrate on that band and don't worry about the reading on other bands. Conversely, if you set your S meter to S9 on some other band, such as 10m, then it will read higher on 40m. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
