[PCR-1000] TalkPCR Signal Strength

[PeteM]

Don,

A few users have played with this feature.  Although I don't know if they
succeeded in creating a new custom calibration table.

I have individually calibrated 20+ radios for one customer, in fact the cal
table in TalkPCR are an average of these 20 radios.

If you want to create your own cal tables you need a calibrated sig gen, and
be running the latest beta 2.8B5, which will allows reporting the real time
raw RSSI reading in the S meter.

Reports by users indicate that the standard calibration work quite well,
often better than +-5dB.  The dB range of the CaldBm system far exceeds the
standard ICOM S meter.

Regards,

Pete,

> Has anyone calibrated their radio with a signal generator to verify the
accuracy of the various signal strength measurement schemes available with
TalkPCR?  The program supplies a corrected lookup table for the CaldBm meter
setting but questions in the helpfile if this is applicable to all serial
numbers.  My interest is in the 150-160Mhz marine band range.  Any research
results greatly appreciated.
