I finally decided to try 3.033XA as it advertised a fix for the rx audio in 3.029. Successfully updated the radio and completed the S-meter calibration.
Master reset/memory clear - enabled RX-366.
Noticed that without the antenna connected the S-meter was at S3 in USB mode. Further investigation determined it was not mode specific but bandwidth specific. Above 2.4khz = S3 resting level, 2.4 to 1khz = S2, Below 1khz to 100hz S1 to S0.
No difference between the main or sub (rx-366) receiver.

Observed the noise floor with SpectrumLab so its not just the S-meter. Went back to 3.029 and all is well. No noise or S-meter reading at any bandwidth. Am I missing something with 3.033XA?
