I think 3.5 to 4 dB per S-unit is closer to operator expectations,
Bill, but I'm sure TT has their reasons.
We do agree on 50 uV = S9. Whether the S-meter compensates for the
preamp and attenuator is an interesting subject; we might provide a
menu entry to turn this on/off.

Just as a data point, in case you don't know -- the Omni-VII features
a calibrated S-meter (50 uV = S9, 1 S-unit = 6 dB) on all bands, and
it always reads the same for a given signal level regardless of the
state of pre-amps or attenuators switched in/out.
