[TenTec] STANDARDISATION OF S-METER READINGS

[Steve Hunt]

Folks,

Here are some figures measured on my Corsair II:

160m: S6 = -90dBm, S9 = -68dBm (89uV), S9+20 = -47dBm
80m:   S6 = -90dBm, S9 = -70dBm (71uV), S9+20 = -49dBm
40m:   S6 = -90dBm, S9 = -68dBm (89uV), S9+20 = -47dBm
20m:   S6 = -95dBm, S9 = -72dBm (56uV), S9+20 = -50dBm
10m:   S6 = -95dBm, S9 = -72dBm (56uV), S9+20 = -50dBm

Average dB/Spoint is 7.3 between S6 and S9 across all bands.
S9 to S9+20 averages 21.6dB across all bands.
RF attenuator measures 15dB on all bands.

Not too bad for an "old un"
