Hi Mike,
Yes - it is possible to do as you suggest - use the absolute S-Meter mode. For
a long time I resisted switching to absolute mode for no good reason other than
not wanting to deviate from a default setting.
Because I usually keep RF gain at about the 1 o'clock position, for a long time

I thought he was referring to the s-meter segments filling up as you
turn down the RF gain control, which happens with absolute mode as
well as default mode. I forget what the benefit of this action is
supposed to be except that it mimics conventional receivers.

I had not tried absolute mode. It is perfect. I use attn and no pre amp on
lower bands. Nothing changes. Reducing rf gain as always will increase the
floor of the reading up to 50 over, or thereabouts.

When using my computer to decode PSK and other digital modes, I
use the RF gain to control AF overload as reported by the
computer software (cocoaModem).
