Don,   when the RF gain is fully cw ( max )   I have 3 bars on the S Meter,
when I slowly reduce the RF gain control I watch the S Meter and when I get
it just past the 9 o'clock position the S Meter will reduce to only 1 bar
showing.  you can hear the background noise drop as you do this, then I just
add a bit more gain back just enough to hear the noise increase back up. 
the lowest I can reduce the S meter is to 1 bar showing,  I add just enough
gain back to get the 2nd bar to flicker..   if i reduce the gain to much the
S meter will start to climb back up in the normal maner....
