Signal reports are done with your EARS and the filter between them, not a
meter.

Hi,
Since the whole concept of RST is pretty theoretical, what's the different
how an S-meter performs? I've been a ham for 35 or 40 years and my 579 to
station is not some other ham's 579 to a station.
I have a Kenwood TS570 with a bar illustration for an S-meter. I'm not
sure what it means. I also have run a Yaesu FT-897D. I had no idea what's
going on with that digital bar which goes back and forth, back and forth.
My best rig is an OMNI VI Plus. I like watching that meter go up and down.
It's a very smooth S-meter but I don't really care if it's several hairs
generous or stingy.
It's all relative. If you can hear them, you can work them.
73s,
Rick
