[Elecraft] S-Meter Sensitivity

[Don Brown]

Hi

I Know four K2's is a small sample but it does appear the CAL S HI needs =
to be around 10 to 16 rather than around 20 to 22 when done by the manual=
 method. If you don't have the equipment to set it up, it looks like you =
can lower the CAL S HI 5 to 8 points. You must set CAL S LO first by the =
manual then try several settings of CAL S HI until it is to your liking. =
If you do have access to the equipment then it is simple to set it up rig=
ht. =20

I've just checked my CAL S HI and it's showing 016 for S9 =3D 50 uV on my
Marconi signal generator. The original setting (as per the Elecraft manua=
l)
left the S-meter rather on the mean side.
