S-Meter's dBm full scale value

Hi Simon,
I like very much to use the S-Meter in the dBm mode because I think it provides more useful information than the S points mode.
Unfortunately the full scale of 0 dBm is a too high value, so the useful field is limited to only a third of the available scale.
I kindly ask you to put a full scale of -70 dBm, or better, to leave to choose the full scale value.
Thank you in advance.

(I was trying to get him to think for himself. Always take a tour of settings adjusting them to see what they do. Then set each one back to original as you go through the set. That tends to answer questions like his before they start. I probably should have suggested the excellent but atypical, perhaps atypically excellent, documentation on
www.sdr-radio.com itself.)

Thanks for the very kind answers to my request, but my question on the S-Meter full scale value has been misunderstood.
The View-Scale regulation only affects the power levels of the spectrum window, NOT the S-Meter's scale that remains with a full scale value of 0 dBm.
I would like to change the full scale value of the S-Meter when switched to dBm readings.

You can't at the moment.
