sBITX V2 S-Meter?

 

Hello Farhan and group

?Maybe a stupid question, where is the the S-Meter?
I have not found it!
Otherwise I like my new toy!

Patrick,
Dont transmit yet, I am fixing an overdrive that can kill the pa transistors.
S meter is coming up.

Thanks to answer
I Didnt transmit yet, just receive and explore and look at how to install apps (SSTV) linked to sBITX?
Ok for S-Meter I will wait!

Do we have a S-meter on the sBITX V2?

Not sure if S-Meter is anywhere near on the horizon yet, just a suggestion perhaps but maybe a numeric indicator to the side of the grey bars on the audio spectrum? might be useful, not accurate but maybe a useful indicator. by setting the noise floor to the bottom of the display using the IF control, then a rough indication based on the waveform peaks might provide a useful indication of a possible S-Point value indication.?
I am not a coder per-se, this might perhaps be just a UI modification to start with until a proper s-meter is deployed to give a rough indicator

I think Ashhar already has a somewhat-calibrated graphical display of signal level, which probably is in some factor of "dBm"??

S-meters are notoriously?variable and unreliable, but there does exist a published standard.? ?An enterprising coder could take the signal level and make an image that would?approximate a moving S-meter or moving bar, with a bit of delay so peaks could be read.? ?I think this would be appreciated by a lot of users.? ?

My 2 cents!!!? ? I'll be presenting the radio Saturday at the West Central Florida TECHCON, and it is a greatly improved story this year!? Very fascinating radio and at an amazing pricepoint.
