I've found it depends on how strong the desired station is vs the interference. If the signal level is varying and reducing one brings up the strength of the other, then it makes more sense to ignore the S-meter and adjust the controls and listen for the desired station's audio. For example, when I'm trying to phase out KFBK to hear a TP, or phase out KNBR and hear KBRW, etc.
Locals on the other hand are best nulled by watching the meter Bruce Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > At 23:51 11/11/2006, you wrote: > >> So here's the question: Are others able to null strictly by sound >> without looking at ! >> the dials? ........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC >> >> > > I've always used the S-meter, Walt. > > You might try switching off the AGC when nulling without the > S-meter.
