I totally agree but my other point is that perhaps the XG-1 may be defective. I want accurate readings just like everyone else but the readings are so radically different that I want to make sure the test instrument is not causing the discrepancy. I know of another local ham who told me he has an XG-1 so I'll see if his readings concur with mine. I'll report back with my findings.
Your responses have been very helpful.

The SDR-1000 is reading the actual signal coming from the antenna. Once calibrated it is VERY accurate. I have an XG-1 and it aligns nicely with my 756 Pro II. BTW, the previous thread also posed the question of making the S-meter more like traditional rig - less accurate. This option was overwhelmingly vetoed by the Reflector users. This is one of the things that separates the SDR from traditional radios - the S meter was done right! -Tim ---- Integrated Technical Services www.itsco.com "Si fractum non sit, id reficere" -Unknown Roman consultant -----Original Message----- _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
