[Elecraft] Internal K2/K3 S-meter resolution for computer recording?

2007-09-08 Thread Kristinn Andersen
Thanks, Lyle. So, to make sure I understand this, all of the measurments (dBV and AFV) are done at the same point, at an AF level that is independent of the AF gain control. Furthermore, by turning the AGC off I will have a relatively linear relationship between the RF input level at the antenna

So, the question is: How much internal resolution of the S-meter reading do we have in the K2 or K3 (or other Elecraft rigs, for that matter), that could be read by a computer? You can go one better with the K3. It has an internal dBV output which is based on a true RMS voltmeter function. T

I would like to use the K2 or the K3 occasionally as a "field strength meter", for example take the rig a couple of km/miles away from my QTH and record the signal strength from my home station. This would be useful in antenna experiments. So, the question is: How much internal resolution of the
