[Hammarlund] S meter

[Glen Zook]

Doubling in power represents 3 dB.  Doubling in signal
strength (voltage) = 6 dB.

When I get my website fully up again there is an
article on there explaining the mathematics behind
this.

Well Ken, I stand corrected. If I remember correctly,
a doubling in signal strength is 3db. This in fact
means that the meter on the HQ129-X is in fact a real
and calibrated S meter, although not the type that
we're used to today. I'd still like to know who
invented the modern day S meter and if Hammarlund had
anything to do with that. Thanks for the interesting
reply.
