Wouldn't the text color be even harder to see?Under normal ops you'd never see
the meter in yellow or red which is the goal.

Hello Joe and Mike,
Since I was the one who implemented the level meter, I have a suggestion:
Please don't make the level meter change colors depending of the dB level. It
makes it rather difficult to read for those of us with not so good eyes. It is
perhaps better to change the color of the text or background of the dB label,
if the feature is really needed. I personally find that the way the level meter
works now is very clear, elegant and not visually intrusive.

I'm trying my best to make good use of your recent hard work on coding.
I think if you change the level-meter portion your "cumulative.patch" in
the following ways, it will be an improvement to the program:
1. The definition of dB level should remain as it is now, namely
pxdb=20.0*log10(rms), and the meter should display that number.
2. The slider should not affect the meter reading.
3. The meter range can be increased to 0-90 dB.
4. symspec() can return a "pxdbmax" value, as well as the pxdb value.
5. In symspec(), the statement
if (x1.gt.abs(pxdbmax)) then
should be changed to
if (abs(x1).gt.pxdbmax) then
6. Warning colors may be displayed on the level meter if pxdb<15
(yellow?) or pxdbmax>85 (red?).
