Most S-Meters digital or analog act this way... as the RF Gain is
DEcreased, the S-meter INcreases in level... it's a function of the
AGC voltage, which is an INVERSE function.
Thanks Tom and Don-
It makes sense that relatively speaking as you turn down the RF gain,
the signals that still come through must be stronger so I guess the S
meter compensates to try to give an accurate idea of the strength.
The only other rig I have ever used, the HW-8, has left me ill-prepared
for all the goodies that the K2 is about to spoil me with, so most of
my questions are pretty basic. Thanks for the guidance!
I will definitely re-calibrate my S meter next time the radio is
together.
