I must have missed the memo because I just downloaded and installed 3.033xa for the O II. I calibrate0d my S-meter as per the instructions and.. Wow. My values are quite different for the default val
Kim, It does NOT affect the AGC and it is NOT AGC derived. The S-meter signal is processed through the DSP in the IF. You can turn your manual gain control up or down as much as you wish without affe
OK, this is what I suspected. Thanks for verifying it! 73, Kim N5OP "People that make music together cannot be enemies, at least as long as the music lasts." -- Paul Hindemith _______________________
We installed it on K8WDQ's O II and it fixed the meter problem while introducing another: The slow AGC was not slow at all. We tried adjustments but found no success. We finally decided to reinstall
Aha! I noticed the same thing last night! I set my "slow" AGC to some s l o w values (1 dB per second and 1 s hang time), but nothing changes in accordance with the settings. I, too, will go back to
I use a 565, not a 566, but my understanding from previous discussions was that the slow AGC in the latest firmware WAS slow in its receiver gain control and it was only the s-meter action that was f
Some of the newer radios, Argonaut VI and Eagle, the S meter is not affected by the AGC speed selection. Also, and I believe correctly applied, the use of the RF Gain or attenuator function, does not
I listened carefully, suspecting that the meter no longer showed the AGC action, which is why I chose the extreme values. I couldn't detect the slow action by ear, but I'll listen again... 73, Kim N5
I just did a careful by-ear test and Barry is absolutely correct: the AGC *DOES,* indeed, behave exactly as it should under 3.033xa. As has been pointed out here and, apparently earlier, the S-meter
Ahaaaa! So when the S-meter doesn't reflect the AGC action, what we have is an undocumented FEATURE. ;-) 73, Dave Heil K8MN On 4/8/2013 13 17, Kim Elmore wrote: I just did a careful by-ear test and B
Oh, I wouldn't be quite that harsh. I am curious, though, about why TT chose to do it this way. 73, Kim N5OP "People that make music together cannot be enemies, at least as long as the music lasts."
I think it's kind of nice to have some S meter reading when I'm running with the AGC off and managing the RF gain manually... Cecil K5DL Sent from my iPad ____________________________________________
The S meter on my Omni 6 plus never goes above S 7. Any ideas what causes it? Bry Carling http://www.af4k.com http://alltheaboveband.com I think it's kind of nice to have some S meter reading when I'

Yes, I will try that. Maybe it took a bump in shipping. Bry Carling http://www.af4k.com http://alltheaboveband.com Alignment/meter calibration would be my first thoughts... Cecil Sent from my iPad On
Perhaps John will chime in with a comment but when you think of it isn't that a desirable thing to have the S meter show actual signal strength regardless of how we have the radio adjusted? Sounds li

Based on the development of the S meter system by Art Collins of Collins Radio, the S meter should always indicate accurate signal strength. Over the years I've had several inquire about this and my
It could need calibration. There is a procedure in the manual. It requires two known and specific signal levels to accurately accomplish this. 73 Bob K4TAX -- Original Message -- From: <bcarling@cfl.
Yes. It does not appear to be an alignment issue. The same problem prevails on all bands. Also my CW keyer speed range is way too fast. Therefore difficult to adjust. Bry Carling http://www.af4k.com
