<"Louder" is more S-meter bars, or audibly louder?> <Is the horizon, for you, over a relatively unpopulated area? Do you live in a more populated area?> Audibly much louder at or near the horizon. I have never checked the S-meter while transmitting, but relied on what I hear in my earphones. Actually, on the D72, the S-meter only operates on receive and displays the power level on transmit, so it won't tell me what I need to know. Not super populated and I roam a lot and notice the same thing happening no matter where I go-as long as I have a pretty good view of the horizon. Brad Smith KC9UQR
