[R-390] Dallas Lankford SSB Mod(AGC) Vs. Carr Level Mtr

[Tony Angerame]

I installed the two diode ssb agc mode with great results. However, I noted
the carrier level meter reading seems to be much greter after the mod. I
checked this out with my URM-25 and the chart of microvolts/db in the
manual. As I suspected the meter was reading way high i.e. a 20 over s-9
nearly pegs the meter. I don't intend to remove the mod because it works so
well but I would like to know if anyone has gotten similar results. Perhaps
there's even a way around the increased s-meter sensitivity. BTW the IF gain
is adjusted properly (Down).
