Why do the manufacturers still bother with S units. Why don't receivers just measure dBuV or dBm at the antenna? While it certainly would be nice to have a dependable dB scale on the meter, I do not
Why do the manufacturers still bother with S units. Why don't receivers just measure dBuV or dBm at the antenna? Because that would mean equalising the gain exactly over the whole range. Expensive. T
I know that this is a rather old thread that I have just come across when cleaning up my mail whilst waiting to fly through an ice storm to Boston. Why do the manufacturers still bother with S units.
The RC411 did. 73 de John Rabson G3PAI Actually in these modern microprocessor days it does not mean equalising the gain, it means adding an S meter correction table to the software, and running the
just This may be fine for technical specs etc but most of us would far rather send 599 in a qso than 'your are 1.34dBuV'. The s meter scale is an admirable shorthand and should be maintained. 73s Da
