fix: power is RM5, not RM4 — the CW keying was the experiment
An FM carrier could not answer it: constant by definition, so nothing to correlate. CW at 100 W did, because the keying itself varies the output: key down: RM4=25 RM5=207 RM6=13 key up: RM4=25 RM5=0 RM6=0 RM5 follows the RF envelope exactly — it IS the power meter. RM4 sits near 25 whether the key is down or up, so it is not measuring output at all, and reading it as power is what showed 8 W on a 100 W transmission. The operator's hunch was right and my first reading of the ramp was wrong: what I took for a needle rising was RM4 drifting, not tracking. Watts are now derived from that meter (207 = 100 W, measured) instead of the power SETTING scaled by a percentage — the setting says what was asked for, the meter says what left the radio. The bars also hold their peak with a gentle decay. In CW the meters genuinely read zero between elements, so following the raw value made them flash to nothing several times a second; a needle has inertia, and this only ever holds a value the radio really reported.
