I agree that 5 dB per S-unit makes good engineering sense. Sorry to
the
standards group, but 6 db per s-unit just doesn't add up.
Sure it does. 6 dB is four times the power. Half an S unit is doubling
the power.
5 dB per S-unit means two S units are ten times the power and four S
units are one hundred times the power.
S-meters are only useless because they've been built that way for too
many years.
IMHO that depends on whether you want a receiver or a lab-quality
selective voltmeter.
