Something has happened to the S-meter in this release. All of a sudden I have signals that are 60dB over S9. I am sure there is no more than 6-10dB between S9+10 and S9+60. This is also evident when backing off the RF gain. I have not made any CONFIG changes in order to use the new absolute S-meter setting. I have not recalibrated the S-meter. What is wrong here?
Knut - AB2TC I'm getting the same result as Bob. No matter how I set the threshold, 2,3, Automatic, etc, I cannot get it to perform as well as the old 1.78 version which was just amazing.
