Here's my thoughts in answer to your points.<br><br><div><font face="Arial" size="2">1. rf to receiver -73 db with usb or lsb to check
either level<br><br>The output of the QSE would be monitored with an AD8317 detector. The output of which would be fed back to the MAX II and ultimately back to the host computer software. The host computer software would have a nice little software meter showing power levels. Depending on the filter/amplifier board design, similar power level signals could be passed back via the CASMIR Transmitter Sequencing connector so they too can be sent to the host computer for display. For stand-alone mode SASQUATCH would have to drive a physical meter to display.<br><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">2. audio to chase thru all the ckts and a way to
measure the results going thru<br><br>CASMIR is only seeing the I/Q PWM signals generated by OZYMANDIAS. So I'm not sure on what audio you want to chase thru the system.<br><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">3. mike level check with a read out of some
kind<br><br>Should be done within the host computer software before the I/Q PWM is generated by OZYMANDIAS<br><br></font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">after watching all the development for all the
boards that gives a reason to have some kind of self checking mode or signals to
prove that the levels are right. </font></div>
