[TenTec] A-Meter Calibration in 3.033xa

[Tony Lelieveld]

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 affecting the S-meter movement.  I 
personally love this feature but must admit that it took a while to get used 
to it.

73, Tony VE3DWI.
