Mike,

What version LM391X did you use? (should the meter be linear, log, or VU)?

Did you have to do any scaling/amplification?  I looked at the Scout schematic, 
and couldn't figure out the current rating of the meter itself. (and the LM3914 
displays voltage, correct?) --  because of the op-amp, is it basically driving 
between the voltage rails?

I was thinking of using a Paul Wade (W1GHZ)-style  module.

Does anyone have any slick s-meter replacements (LED bar, maybe), if it does 
turn out to be the meter?
