Hi john,

Here is a good article with a nice graph showing the uV, dBm & dBuV 
readings for various S readings..

Basically 50uV = -73dBm = S9

Earlier Kenwoods had a couple of trim pots for the S meter, my TS-811 
has ones for  S0, S3 and S9 - regardless of the readings in between,  I 
at least know when a signal is S3 or S9 :-)

Your 940 might have similar adjustments.

cheers

Tim
