I hope I do not over step the purpose of this site but after all of the dicussions about the isolation between Ant 1 and Ant 2 I thought that the enclosed info might help put some actual values to th
Yes for years most companies have adopted the 6 dB per S unit and the 50 uV for S-9 on HF. Collins some years ago used the 100 uV for S-9. And then for some companies, a signal of some value caused t

Really? I doubt it. I own two TS850s and two FT1000MPs. I haven't measured the sensitivity of S9 (I simply didn't pay attention), but I looked at the value of an S-unit. In general, S8 to S9 is usual
In the February 2008 issue of QST, on page 36, there is a reference to an internet article on this topic. The web address is not quite right. It should be (I hope I get this right): www.seed-solution
The Orion's S-meter calibration certainly isn't anything to "write home about," but it is "representative" of the distant stations signal strength. Running V1.373b5 I get the following readings using
Try without formating :-) The Orion's S-meter calibration certainly isn't anything to "write home about," but it is "representative" of the distant stations signal strength. Running V1.373b5 I get th
Interesting. In looking at the data taken from my Omni VI Plus a couple of years ago I find that the S meter seemed quite accurate. Feeding the HP8656A generator to the input of the receiver, 50 uV e
And, if you really want your s-meter readings to mean anything (you gotta be anal to do this), calculate your antenna gain, feedline loss, tuner loss, switch loss, etc. 599 into a 4-el beam may be th
But the definition is "signal strength at the receiver input". These gains/losses, as you describe, generally apply equally to the transmitted signal as well as the received signal. 73 Bob K4TAX ____
Merle: That's far more accurate that the Orion II S-meters The difference may be caused by a different type of AGC implementation in the version 2 firmware. It would be interesting to get numbers fro

Only slightly exceeded by the guys who send 599 even in normal operating - then double on top of the DX and then do not answer any queries ! Heard that AGAIN last night on 80 cw 73 de Hank K7HP I don
