The s-meter is only useful to give a rough reading of signal strength. 
It is good enough for RST reports.

However, the radio includes a built-in 'dBV' (this is in quotes for 
those who will say that it should be called something else) function 
which can provide an accurate measurement of relative signal strength 
when necessary.

Some people hate Powerpole connectors, others love them. I am of the 
latter persuasion. They need to be assembled carefully and then in my 
opinion they work well and are extremely convenient.

But then, I like PL259/SO239's too.
