Not a bug, just enhancement.

The original ratio was design to correct for ADC Voltages to display the correct voltage.

Some people who knows how to compute a voltage divider knows what number to type if they know the electrical schematics of the RX voltage input.

For a big majority, they really don't know where to start unless is documented in the RX manual (or somewhere else). They just start changing the number until they get the voltage they see in a multimeter.

A "ratio" of 0 (display as "-") mean bypass the scaling logic, so it give the raw value coming from the telemetry screen. A "ratio" of 25.5 will give you the original sensor value (or 100%).
Could be helpful to display the percentage on the side of the ratio, so if a user needs to scale up, they know to go to a value higher than 100%,

Some people are using "ratio" for sensors who are not voltages. For example, If you have a Current (A) reading, you could compute a new sensor for consumption by adding this current periodically. Then adjust "ratio" +/- until you get a consumption closer to reality at the end of the flight.

Describe the solution you'd like

Display the equivalent percentage on the side of the "ratio" field.
