[TenTec] Scout S-Meter Fail

[Bill Acito W1PA]

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?
