Signal strenght "Indicator" on CC Radio

[Len14043]

I have a CC Plus Radio and wondered if anyone knows how the signal strenght indicated on the lcd indicator corresponds to the signal strenght in terms of mv/m. The signal strenght is represented by vertical bars which rise up from the bottom 2 bars at a time. Each 2 bars is accompanied by a corresponding number in which 2 bars = 1, 4 bars = 2, 6 bars = 3,.......14 bars = 7. Most of the stations reveived by skywave indicates a 2 on the meter. (For some reason, WHAM frequently indicates a 3, which is the strongest skywave signal to reach Cincinnati.) WLW's tower is 5 miles away and indicates a 7 - the highest possible indication. The local stations indicate levels between 2 and 7, and distant stations such as WOWO, WHAS indicate between 1 and 2 during the day. WLW indicates 2-3 in Columbus 24/7. Based on my reception observations, I think a reading of 1 = about 0.5 mv/m and 2 = about 2.0 mv/m. I seems like anything 2 or greater would be city grade. Does anyone here know how the signal strenght displayed on the CC radio correlates to the actual signal received? Thank you.

Im not certain..but Im guessing that no thought was put in to actual amount of signal levels when determining the doulbe signal strength bars. im more of the tought its just a relative signal strength meter.
