I am sometimes finding it will read 1 bar above what it should, which is what you are seeing. But using the AT1 step attenuator, I find that it takes only 1 or 2 dB attenuation to bring the reading down one bar. This now one heck of an accurate S meter. I now have within a couple of dB at the S3, S9 and s9+40 calibration points that I can do without fiddling with the attenuator.
