I disagree with this. If S-meter cal was indeed a standard, that's one
thing but the reality of S-meters is that they are all over the map.
If I calibrate my rig and know how many dB per s-unit than I'm far ahead
of my peers who only *think* they know. If I have 4 dB per unit I
expect to see a 2.5 unit jump when the other guy kicks on the linear.

Sorry Wayne, but being able to change the S-meter slope and intercept
strikes me as being a bad option. To me that is like changing the
calibration of a voltmeter or wattmeter because you like the needle
pointer to move differently.
