Having used rx that didn't have S-meters, and those that do... then I find a
great rx that makes all the "calibration" of my "internal" S meter rather an
interesting conflict to watch, when using a fine tuned K2, with either analog
or dsp filtering.. I find the "internal" S meter goes from 229 to 599 in .002
microseconds. I've found that with the K2, the ramp between not reading and
reading a signal, (on cw) is a short trip, and one traversed quickly. QSB, and
very occasionally qrm/qrn will make the transition closer to what the
"internal" S meter expects. As far as contest 599 reports... it is more what
the other op is expecting. That, and a QSL still requires a S meter reading..
what ever value you need.. but for those that have started using the new, and
very much improved rx on the market today.... SPECIFICALLY the Elecraft line,
if you can hear the other station.. he's already 5nn, or you wouldn't be
answering his call. It isn't the operator that has lead us into this.
.. it is the excellant quality of rx.. and I, for one, am plumb tickled with
these advancements. Contest, rag chew, nets.. they all drive the advancement of
the circuits, in their own way, and it works great!! Thank you Elecraft! How
else would I be able to log 53 countries in 6.5 hours??? Or call the RMR net on
20 twice a week, 14.0625 at 2100z Tues and Thurs.
