A mis-alignment of the S meter would be the same on all bands...

Yes.  It does not appear to be an alignment issue.
The same problem prevails on all bands.

Also my CW keyer speed range is way too fast. Therefore difficult to adjust.

It could need calibration. There is a procedure in the manual. It requires two known and specific signal levels to accurately accomplish this.

The S meter on my Omni 6 plus never goes above S 7.
Any ideas what causes it?

I think it's kind of nice to have some S meter reading when I'm running > with the AGC off and managing the RF gain manually...

I just did a careful by-ear test and Barry is absolutely correct: the
AGC *DOES,* indeed, behave exactly as it should under 3.033xa. As has
been pointed out here and, apparently earlier, the S-meter does *NOT*
follow the AGC action and instead acts as if the AGC were set to "fast"
in earlier firmware versions.
