Deliberately checking C-weighting makes it droop even further with falling frequency
C-Weight check box has no effect within the start and stop limits of the calibration file.

Green and mustard are my two RS meters old and new using the new cal file for old meters.
I don't understand what you're attempting to do here, since I don't know the model numbers or names of the calibration files you're referring to.

I have a 3dB calibration difference between the two meters on pink noise
The calibration files are basically normalized at 1000Hz, with no appreciable difference above 80Hz. Overall gain differences are accounted for in the calibration of REW.

Any useful thoughts please?
If I understand correctly, your problem is that you feel your RadioShack meters don't track the Galaxy meter at low frequencies? If that's what you're saying, then I wouldn't be surprised. The calibration files are for Sonnies meters against his ECM8000. Since he tested each of the Galaxies against each other and they were very consistent, then I would think the Galaxy calibration file would likely be considered accurate for most Galaxy meters. As for the RadioShack meters - it's a crap shoot. Why do you continue to use them when you have a Galaxy?
