Rodney,
There is a digital number you input for each S meter level which is done
in the menu. You use the multi knob to set a nr in for each S meter reading. I
found mine to be way off.
So, I brought my orion to work and put it on our COM120 service monitor
which has a high degree of calibration. You can be set for uv or DB and turn it
to any level.
.With S9 at 50mv on 14mc , I was able to "dial in" increments of 10db, and calibrate
the meter .Below S9- things were little tricky, and I remember having to "spread" out the
nrs. Anyway, I should have published these a long time ago. They appear to be pretty good. Yes
preamp on.
S0 0 S4 29 S8 53
+30 108
S1 7 S5 36 S9 57
+40 157
S2 14 S6 43 +10 87 +50
202
S3 21 S7 50 +20 98 +60
253
This should get you in ball park. I have a picture of the screen if needed.
