Elecraft K2/100 = S9 (digital S-meter) (S-meter was calibrated by adjusting
the value of R1 for best AGC action and using the S-meter calibration
procedure described in the manual, i.e., full scale = RF gain fully CCW and
S0 = RF gain fully CW with antenna disconnected -- apparently done this way,
there is no need to calibrate S9 on the meter using the method described by
others on this e-mail reflector).

Yaesu FT-1000MP = S9 (main and sub rx's, digital S-meters)

Icom IC-756Pro3 = S9+3 dB (analog S-meter), S9 (digital S-meter)

Kenwood TS-830S = S9+3 dB (analog S-meter) (1 uV setting = S4)

Someone I was chatting with recently said he had tested the S-meters of
several receivers and found that 1 S-unit can equal anything from 3 dB to
more than 6 dB. I had always assumed the target was 6 dB/S-unit. Apparently
not so.
