To be clearer, if you calibrate according to the manual and *then* select ABS mode, the S meter will read about 10 dB low (approximately 2 S units). If you calibrate with PRE and ATT OFF and *then* select NOR mode, the S meter will only be "accurate" if PRE and ATT are OFF. The DSP firmware corrects for PRE and ATT gains in its calculations in ABS mode; it does not correct for these in NOR mode. 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
