Not sure who has adopted the Recommendation. As GM4ESD mentioned, what IARU models itself on has another step to the overall process - though this has more to do with regulatory matters. The bits of that organization that do standardization stuff like this involves stakeholders & the process is one where they all agree on something, rather than just some of them & then the rest of the world endorses that. Also note that since 1978, this is not one of the things that has made the rounds of the IARU Regions. Since the Recommendation is more like an endorsement of an existing industry "standard", the industry association might be a better reference. To be honest, it seems with transverter conversion gains ranging from under 15 to over 25 dB & since they also can be cascaded, maybe with products like the K3 & P3 where the signal strength indication now means something, the best solution is something the user can set. This seems necessary just for the XVs/K144XV alone. Or maybe just put a sticker below the meter: Signals in the meter may/may not be as strong as they appear. ;^) 73, ex-VR2BG/p. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
