I don't think that they directly correspond to S-units. It is just a relative meter. Keep in mind that each bar has different strengths too, it's not just "solid" or "off". Just have patience and take the time to get used to it. Soon you'll get a pretty good idea what they represent. If someone asks what they are hitting me at, I usually use about 6 or 7 bars for an S-9. If it's 8 bars, just tell them that they are pegging your meter and they'll be happy, lol.
It's not like the S-meter is rocket science anyhow. Most people just want to know if they are coming in strong or weak. |

This is causing your post to be extra wide as well as anyone posting to the topic has to scroll across the page to read the post.
Thank You,
