Yaesu FT-1000MP = S9 (main and sub rx's, digital S-meters) Icom IC-756Pro3 = S9+3 dB (analog S-meter), S9 (digital S-meter) Kenwood TS-830S = S9+3 dB (analog S-meter) (1 uV setting = S4) --------------------------- Someone I was chatting with recently said he had tested the S-meters of several receivers and found that 1 S-unit can equal anything from 3 dB to more than 6 dB. I had always assumed the target was 6 dB/S-unit. Apparently not so.
