Perfect. Any 500 Hz wide filter in any mode (with the exception of SPEC
mode) should come close to this result.

to do a quick and dirty check on your XG-1, first use it to calibrate your
SDR-1000. Then connect your SDR-1000 to a dummy load, set it to

There is way too much attention paid to S meters. I'm glad that ours is
accurate (or, more properly, can be made so), but unless you're trying
to do a serious scientific experiment in propagation, which requires
calibrated S meters _on both ends_ just for starters, it doesn't mean

I don't think what is measured with the S meter in the

radios. The S meter in the SDR actually reads an
absolute signal strength in dBm calibrated to what

is accurate and within 0.1 dB accuracy

Edwin,
This thread has been on the reflector before. The SDR-1000 is reading
the actual signal coming from the antenna. Once calibrated it is VERY
accurate.
I have an XG-1 and it aligns nicely with my 756 Pro II.
BTW, the previous

reads around -130 to -135dBm, your XG-1 is probably just fine.

I just did a quick check here. I switched my Yaesu FT-847 in line connected
it to my Elecraft XG-2. Its S-Meter is dead on S9 on 14.0598, just like the
SDR-1000.

What do you think? S meter emulation? Our radios should behave the way
we we're used to, shouldn't they? I'm hitting a guy with +20 and he's
hitting me with S7. It just doesn't seem right.
Thanks for reading.
