Check the display for the measurement unit. Fluke 189s measure
in dBV (dB referenced to one Volt), not dBm (dB referenced to
one milliWatt). 0dBm (.775 VAC) is a couple dB different in
voltage

Ed,
Thanks for the confirmation. This morning I went ahead and removed/loosened
the PA assembly so I could access the bottom of the PCB. I soldered on a
short length of 24ga solid to the appropriate land and routed it to the
topside of the assembly cage so I could access it for tuning.
So we all (here) pulled out our meters for a comparison.
First off... our one Fluke 189 does measure in dBm as did
every meter and transmission test set in the shop. So

I don't have a 189 but have other fluke meters. Measuring in dBm, to measure
an absolute value, you must first know what load you are measuring across.
Then the meter must be set up to read zero dBm across that load impedance.

The VHF fiberglass Omni's within 6 feet of your building-top antenna can cause
pattern distortion just as is the case with side mounted tower installations.
