Of course you can do it all by ear, and I found that there were times when "my ears disagreed with the meter". As you note, signal strength and "quality" also relate to "mode" (such as Multipath), and not only broadcasts but also tuners vary as to what might be the "best mode" for listening to a given signal. It is possible to get an acceptable signal that's "bounced" off something before it got to your antenna. Or, bounce might (more commonly) register as phase interference. But, annoyingly, bounce and pretty much everything else can vary according to atmospheric conditions, too. Just play with it, see if you can get "the same thing" by repeating the same tuning procedure for the same channel, then note that the time of day is also a factor!
Fun!
