We cannot sit over in our little corner and pretend that the rest of the world does not exist. That's how we got into trouble with the KIO3. dBV is a voltage measure with a reference of 1V RMS. It's an international standard. If a K3 function does something else, it needs to be called something else. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
