[AMRadio] RF Ammeters (Was AM Bandwidth)

[Jim Wilhite]

Dennis,

Interesting meter and I wish I could afford one.  The thing that struck 
me when reading the specifications was that it will show Carrier Shift.

I can't help but wonder how many of us know what Carrier Shift is or how 
to cure it if you have it?  Is there another method to know if you have 
Carrier Shift?
