I sometimes wonder why we have S-Meters. They've never been a scientific instrument to determine signal strength....at least not the ones I've seen. I think that S-Meters are a marketing too....just try to sell a radio without one. Hard to do.
However S-Meters are calibrated....I like to compare signals on the bands...so when I have a QSO...I can tell the person he is so and so loud in comparison to other signals on the band. S-Meters (to me) are relative to the band conditions. Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
