To ask the obvious question ... since the S-meter is derived
from the DSP and the DSP/controller should know if the preamp is
on or off, why are there not two sets of calibrations so 50 uV
at the antenna input is S9 whether the preamp is on or off?
This was discussed among field testers. Some of them (me included)
wanted the s-meter setting to be independent of preamp setting, but
apparently the arguments that "people will think the preamp doesn't
work" and "other radios don't do this" were more persuasive.
I suspect (but don't know for sure) that it would be possible to change
this in firmware and maybe someday there will be an option to allow it
to work this way.
