The original S meter development for HF radios was done by Art Collins.  
At that time the number used was 100 uV for S-9 to coincide with the RST 
system.  Later the value was revised to 50 uV for S-9.  Values above S - 
9 are stated usually in dB although I've seen some in microvolts.  If 
one ventures into the VHF spectrum then the value changes.  {I forget to 
what value}
