As I typically leave the AF gain at maximum and use the RF gain control to set the listening level (Better signal to noise ratio.) the S-meter is not too useful. Also with the AGC turned off the S-meter is not operational.
Anyone have any ideas for an AGC independent S-meter? I was thinking perhaps use some sort of high impedance RF voltage detector between D34 and T7 on the RF board. Then amplify the voltage to the level and range required at the S-meter voltage connection (pin RA1 of the MCU), so the existing meter could still be used. Of course the connection from the MCU to the AGC line would have to be disconnected. -- Darrell Bellerive Amateur Radio Stations VA7TO and VE7CLA Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
