The IARU has a recommended level. Go here: <www.algonet.se/~k-jarl/ssa/IARU/smeter.html>
I found this link on the ARRL Web site. -93 dBm equals 5 uV, -73 dBm equals 50 uV, and -67 dBm equals 100 uV. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WD7F - John in Tucson Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 9:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Doubling Power Output On UHF Repeater One more comment....let's see if I can make it without getting egg on my face... The older receivers such as my Collins 74A4 called for a 100uv (that's microvolts) input to get S9 and my Kenwood 820 said 50uv for the same...so that should give you an idea how important it is to give a 59 signal report...hi hi. And then I have an ICOM with two different pre-amp levels in addition to none..so, I could give someone three S reports. de WD7F John
