It was precisely that meter (designed by Beppe, IK3VIG) which inspired me,
and which, in turn, I added to my Console.

One problem with it, though, is that the meter's dB/uV scale, as drawn, is
not linear.  For example, if you look closely at it you'll notice that the
arc subtended from 0 to 10 is much larger than the arc subtended from 60 to
70.  Ideally, you'd like the subtended arcs to be equal.  So there's a bit
of error introduced (not compensated for in my meter code) as the needle
approaches either end of the scale.
