Re: Icom R75 receiver, Signal Strength Meter

I would like to add an analogue signal strength meter to my Icom R75
receiver. Has anyone managed to do this, and what's involved? I'm
looking to take a 'real' indication of signal strength from the AGC
line, not just monitoring the audio output.

Thanks

My R75 has an S meter. It appears to mimic a VU meter in the SSB mode
because there is only ''power'' during modulation , but shows signal
strength normally in the AM mode.
