Another way to look at it is to consider that when you adjust the RF gain manually, the more you need to turn down the gain, the stronger the signal must be. So the S-meter reads higher, reporting that the signal is stronger. The 'automatic gain control' just does automatically what you can also

That is the main reason I do not use the S meter to give someone a signal report. I leave the AF gain cranked up and use the RF gain to adjust volume. It gives me a better chance at digging folks out of the noise level. Thus the S meter on my rig just gives me a fun light to watch while I am

Paul, Andy and all, It is not unusual for the S-meter calibrations to change from those initial settings that were made when you had only the Contol board and the Front Panel boards complete. Now that you have a full receiver, you should re-do the CAL S LO and CAL S-Hi calibration to straighten o
