[R-390] Another 390A Carrier meter question

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

I'm getting the last parts together and trying to finish up a couple of 
Blue-Strippers that I got from Fair Radio Sales. My question is about 
the carrier level meter. I have acquired the correct meter. My question 
is about the sensitivity of the meter.  It reads around mid-scale with 
0.1 mv/-73 dbm input on the balanced antenna. Does this sound about 
right. Most ham receivers are set up for S-9 readings with 50 uv signal. 
That is usually around 3/4 full scale. I don't think there is a problem 
with the overall sensitivity of the receiver, it is 1 uv or better. It 
takes a pretty strong station to get any readable meter movement.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
