Which means your dBc references should be labelled "dB PEP" for
the particular modulation.  The reference to dBc is only strictly
accurate for the unmodulated carrier and possibly CW.

Unless you are using  known modulation (e.g., 2 tone for SSB, "idle"
for PSK31) there is no simple PEP to carrier reference.
