Tom,

Curious, what mode are you in.   Is this a new thing, or always been 
this way?

Perhaps you are overdriving?    The manual says  that if  the power 
meter exceeds the power level that is set, reduce micgain, or back off 
the mic.   If in a  key down mode, backing off on the carrier level 
would do the same.

The above may not be what you are experiencing, but  maybe backing 
things down will get the meter to behave  better.

I'm not aware of a way to adjust the meter, and a quick look at the 
manual didn't  have anything jump out at me.

73, Steve KW3A
