S Meter Calibration Values.

 

S Points

PD into 50 ohms

dBm into 50 ohms

 

S0

0.1uV

-127dBm

 

S1

0.2uV

-121dBm

 

S2

0.4uV

-115dBm

 

S3

0.8uV

-109dBm

 

S4

1.58uV

-103dBm

 

S5

3.16uV

-97dBm

 

S6

6.3uV

-91dBm

 

S7

12.6uV

-85dBm

 

S8

25uV

-79dBm

 

S9

50uV

-73dBm

These values are valid on HF. on VHF, values are 20dB lower e.g. S9 is 5uV or -93dBm. Most commercial transceivers do not adhere all that closely to this scale.
