In Reply to: Understood about the '8' limit... posted by cdb on December 24, 2006 at 13:58:05:
I actually had mine tweaked so that the most powerful stations hit "9" instead of "8."If you have an LED-type signal strength display it's no big deal, but with a real needle-type meter you have to prevent it from "pinning" hard on a constant basis. In actual use, under many common reception conditions, that can happen easily.
The real value of a nice analog meter like this is what it tells you at lower levels. As dudeupshaw says, it helps you orient your antenna for the weaker stations. For the strong ones, some of them perhaps only a few miles away, signal strength is not the issue anyway.
So, far from being "useless" it is actually telling you what you need to know. Stations that hit "8" or above are so far above the tuner's full-quieting range that knowing their signal strength is of no practical value.
