Re: [TenTec] Arithmetic Check

["Bill Taylor(W4WBT)" <w4wbt@fmci.net>]

The "s" meter in the 340 is very accurate, reading actual signal 
level at the antenna. It is what should have been put into the new 
transceiver . Not only would it make signal readings accurate but 
give  the new TT something different from the other ham units. The"s" 
meter reading has no engineering significance except hams always used 
it that way.
My opinion.
