I'll stand by everything I wrote. If Yeasu got religion and arranged for
the MP's S units to be 6db each, that's great but it puts that rig into a
very select group. Based on all I've seen, the statement that an S unit is
always 6 db is about as useful in this hobby as the statement that "a tank
of gas in a car is always equal to 300 miles."
