Peter,

Did you check the other bands or only 80 meters?  If not try the others.  I had the same problem on 80  and 40 meters and I cheched the rest  and they were below 8 volts.  I then adjusted L30  on the (i think 17 meters)  that was below 8 volts and I could see the voltage change on R30.  I continued to adjust L30 for a lower voltage on 17meters.  I switched back to 80/40 and finally it went below 8 volts.      
The voltage on R30 will stay at 8 volts until you reach a point and it will lower.   Just switch back and forth until you see it change.   

Good luck,
