Hmm, peak rather than RMS voltage? If you are averaging then it needs
to be something like RMS so that noise energy is properly accounted
for. Peak works for an SSB signal but not so good for general
measurement. I guess we need to ask Wayne for a peak/RMS switch.

But *MUCH, MUCH* better is Wayne's plan to display dBm.
Yes.
I do wonder what timing Wayne will use.
And don't forget attack/decay time for the peak-reading meter and
integration time for the RMS meter function. :-)
Oh dear, this could get SO out-of-hand. Sorry.
