If the S-meter calibration is the classic 6 dBs per S-number, the ratio between S5 and S9+10dB is 34 dB, or a factor of more than 2500:1. 1 uW added to 25 mW, for example, should not be expected to make a visible difference in a meter reading. 73 de KW6H, ex AE6VW -- Chris Jewell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gualala CA USA 95445 Need a Digital mode QSO?
