Someone just questioned this step.  I didn't mean the S-meter should read
ZERO.  I meant that you decrease the RF GAIN setting until the noise level
on the S-meter stops flickering.  For example if your noise is flickering
S4-5 (as mine typically is on 160m), turn RF GAIN counterclockwise until you
get a steady S5 with no flicker.  The more you turn RF GAIN back, the higher
the S-Meter will read.
