I'm not going to smack this tar baby, other than to note that Elecraft
is a special case with respect to S-meters. K3(S) have an "Absolute"
mode that compensates for preamp gain or input attenuation. So the
S-meter becomes a decent power meter.
I think it's unconscionable that other manufactures, with
microprocessor controlled radios, haven't incorporated this.
The fact that certain features appear in certain radios and not in
others may lie in the "intellectual property" . Mfg A is unwilling to
sell the rights to a particular feature to competitor Mfg B or at least
is unwilling to sell below a price that will compensate A for the loss
in sales gained by B because they now have this feature too. Or B cant
afford to recover the higher "cost" in enough added sales.?
There are at least two sides to every story, often more, ...The truth
lies somewhere in between.
