Hi, 
 
Since the whole concept of RST is pretty theoretical, what's the different 
how an S-meter performs?  I've been a ham for 35 or 40 years and my 579 to 
station is not some other ham's 579 to a station. 
 
I have a Kenwood TS570 with a bar illustration for an S-meter.  I'm not 
sure what it means.  I also have run a Yaesu FT-897D.  I had no idea what's 
going on with that digital bar which goes back and forth, back and forth. 
 
My best rig is an OMNI VI Plus.  I like watching that meter go up and down. 
 It's a very smooth S-meter but I don't really care if it's several hairs 
generous or stingy. 
 
It's all relative.  If you can hear them, you can work them. 
 
73s,
