[TenTec] A-Meter Calibration in 3.033xa

[bcarling@cfl.rr.com]

Yes.  It does not appear to be an alignment issue.
 The same problem prevails on all bands.

 Also my CW keyer speed range is way too fast. Therefore difficult to adjust.

It could need calibration.  There is a procedure in the manual.  It requires two known and specific signal levels to accurately accomplish this.
