[hpsdr] PowerSDR + S-Meter + CAT S-Meter issues

[Dick Lichtel]

With CAT control set to PowerSDR, PSDR seems to be sending erroneous 
values to HRD & Bobmeter. S-meter values  on HRD & Bmeter are S-9+10 for 
a signal around   S7. The signal level ( in dBm) reported by HRD does 
match that shown by PSDR.

If the CAT control is set to TS-2000, HRD reports a signal strength 1 or 
2 db lower than that shown by PSDR.

The other problem is with the value of the signal strength (and S-meter) 
shown by PSDR. With no antenna connected, the S-meter shows S1 and 
strength is -120dBm. The spectrum display shows the noise floor below 
-140dBm. If I hook up a antenna on 10M, the display shows my noise floor 
~ -125dBm but PSDR shows an S3 and -106dBm. Tuning in on an actual 
signal(like a carrier), the signal strength reported seems to match that 
shown in the spectrum.
