The "factory settings" (numerical value in the Service Menu) aren't going to do you any good. As has been said, each radio is different.

You will have to use a SG to fix your problem, there is no way around it.

What I can tell you is the "factory setting" for the S meter input levels. These match what all CB's and 10meter radios have used for the last 50+ years. So if you have other CB's/10 meter radios, and you want your Q5N2 S-meter to match, use these settings:

S1=-115dBm
S3=-103dBm
S5=-91dBm
S7=-79dBm
S9=-67dBm
S9+60=-7dBm

If you have multiband HF rig/s and you want your Q5N2 S-meter to match them, then use these: *NOTE-This is not factory.

S1=-121dBm
S3=-109dBm
S5=-97dBm
S7=-85dBm
S9=-73dBm
S9+60=-13dBm

There are 6 S-meter settings for AM/FM and 6 S-meter settings for SSB. Service menu ch40~52. An input from a SG is REQUIRED to be able to set the correct level.
