Sjoerd,

When measuring millivolts some voltmeters are not very accurate. I've seen them err as much as 40-50 percent. Compare two or three meters and see the results. Also, some crystals don't put out a pure sine wave making RMS measurements less acccurate. Look at it on an o'scope if one is available and calculate the RMS from the waveform on the screen. When working with millivolts there are a lot of factors that can affect accuracy that are less of a problem when measuring higher voltages.

Just some observations.  Hope you get it working soon to your satisfaction.

- Crystal filter output seems quite low, it reads 0,17 Vrms, instead of the
given 0,35V .. tried this with different BFO settings, no significant
difference. The input of the filter is about 2,15 Vrms with a jumper over
the NB connector (5 dB more than normal)
