[ARC5] S+N/N ratio results.

I am not even one little bit satisfied with my results so far.

Taking the voltage readings off the diode load resistor (R-18) instead of the 
audio output, I get a S+N/N ratio of a little more than 12 db on AM at 400Hz 
at 30% modulation at 1 microvolt input. I have to turn the audio gain pot all 
the way down to get a less-noisy view on the scope, but it is much more 
clear and easy to read than taking the signal off the speaker.

Well, back to the bench...
