Howard,
That is a great response. It seems like it is doing just as what you have
detailed.

Subject: S meter reading
Not a stupid question at all. I know that accurate S meter readings are
usually only available when the RF gain is turned up to full.
The signal is taken behind the RF gain, so that as you turn it down, the
circuits try harder to get a signal through. This raises the voltage that
the meter measures. It sounds wrong, but that's my understanding of the
process anyway.
Then again I learned that in 1967, so things might be different today.
It will be interesting to see if somebody who actually knows the answer
responds.
