[1000mp] RTTT tuning meter adjustment.

[Graeme Jackson]

Hi w3jxp
Your comments on the tuning meter display sound similar to my own
observations.
I only use it for CW, but if i calibrate the meter using spot funtion on a
600hz tone, the meter for some reason will not light on a keyed 600hz tone
being received by the receiver.
To acheive an accurate tuning meter reading i have to calibrate it with a
keyed incoming signal.
It seems to me that the keyed signal and the continuous signal from the spot
produce different readouts (frequency)
