Larry,

Those carrier meter numbers were with the AGC disconnected. The meter is 
very sensitive to slight gain changes that way I notice. I'm going to 
hook up the AGC and the RF section today and see what it does. I expect 
it may be much more stable, the AGC action should make the meter act 
more as a log mode. I'm hoping.
