Kieth,

If -73 dBm is equal to S-9, then at 6 dB per S unit, S-0 would be -140 dBm - sounds about right to me for a modern receiver.

73,

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.  Having the
S-meter at S-1.5 with the antenna disconnected?  Can we say useless?
