OK, this is what I suspected. Thanks for verifying it!

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.

>> I must have missed the memo  because I just downloaded and installed 3.033xa for the O II. I calibrate0d my S-meter as per the instructions and.. Wow. My values are quite different for the default values. For example, in my case I need 107 counts for S-9+50 dB while the default is 221. S-9 is displayed for me with 55 counts while the default is 89. All of mine are much closer together than the default values.
