Hi Tony,
The recognized "Collins Standard" -- is 6 dB/S-unit. However, very few
modern transceivers stick to this standard. Most are from 3 to 5 dB/S-unit,
and most are very non-linear. Most modern transceivers inflate the true
value of the received signal and therefore you cannot compare transceiver
receivers by comparing S-unit readings.
