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. 73, Drew AF2Z On Thu, 30 Aug

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. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

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). Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 8/30/12 at 13:56, drew...@verizon.net (drewko) wrote: Probably everyone adjusts RF gain by ear though; I mean those
