Ignacy,
There are a number of possibilities causing the high S-meter reading.
Were you able to adjust the AGC Threshold to the correct voltage? What
was the result when you adjusted the CAL S LO and CAL S HI menu
parameters (were you able to get the correct bar to illuminate - or
extinguish)?
What happens to the S-meter reading if you turn the AGC off?
What happens to the S-meter reading if you place a jumper between pins 1
and 2 of the J10 header (or the J10 header location)?
The answers to the questions above will be an indicator of where to
begin looking for the problem.

I tried SMTR settings but none can bring the S-meter below S9. What can of
hardware problem can it be?
The radio did very well running in CQ WW this AM so it has plenty of
sensitivity.
