Are you saying that you can tell if a signal is loud or not by listening?
What a concept! (Ref: QST, January, 1963, P. 29)

I keep giving signal reports of "I don't know if I can read you, but you are
S9 here, OM."  That's because the R-meter is nowhere to be found on the
front (or rear) panel of my K2.  Maybe it's in one of the Aux menus? I don't
operate CW, but if I did, I guess I'd want a T meter, too...  "UR SIGS RST
??9 ??9 OM K"
