Kim,
It does NOT affect the AGC and it is NOT AGC derived. The S-meter signal is
processed through the DSP in the IF. You can turn your manual gain control
up or down as much as you wish without affecting the S-meter movement. I
personally love this feature but must admit that it took a while to get used
to it.

Subject: [TenTec] A-Meter Calibration in 3.033xa
I must have missed the memo because I just downloaded and installed
3.033xa for the O II. I calibrate0d my S-meter as per the instructions
and.. Wow. My values are quite different for the default values. For
example, in my case I need 107 counts for S-9+50 dB while the default is
221. S-9 is displayed for me with 55 counts while the default is 89. All of
mine are much closer together than the default values.
Since I obviously missed this announcement, I'm curious: is this a
function of the meter movement or something else? I interpret this making
my S meter much more sensitive compared to the default values. Does this
calibration affect the AGC itself, or only the displayed meter value?
73,
Kim N5OP
