[R-390] R-390A dB meter as as "S" meter

[JAMES BRANNIGAN]

The 75S-3B "S" meter is calibrated in db. and S-units.
I use that as a rough gauge, but since I am about 300 miles from my 
radios it will be a few
days before I can produce a chart.
In any event it is not really important.  Most signal reports are given 
by ear and the meter is used for comparisons.

Happy Thanksgiving

Jim
