It could need calibration. There is a procedure in the manual. It requires
two known and specific signal levels to accurately accomplish this.

The S meter on my Omni 6 plus never goes above S 7.
Any ideas what causes it?

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...

Ahaaaa! So when the S-meter doesn't reflect the AGC action, what we
have is an undocumented FEATURE. ;-)

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 does *NOT*
follow the AGC action and instead acts as if the AGC were set to "fast"
in earlier firmware versions.
