The S meter on the RX340 read actual signal level at the antenna 
input and is accurate. The reading does not change if you put in the 
ATT or the preamp which is as it should be. After all, you have not 
changed the actual signal level incoming. This circuit should have 
been used on the Orion. I know a 6k radio then. Its probably worth it 
and some people with lots of $ or good credit would buy it to get the 
very best. After all, Icom occasionally still sells the 780 and the 
9000 receiver (special order) and they are in the 6 to 10k range now. 
The best way is to cover the smeter and if you can hear them, give 
them an 5 and 9. why be different from 80% of everyone else.
